It seems to me that the two pages are talking about the same thing. If there's a technical distinction between a Bifurcation and Distributary, then this should be made clear on both pages. MrTree 10:40, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
I removed the text "including capturing the Red River, which was formerly a tributary of the Mississippi" because it was misleading. The Atchafalaya River WAS the Red River. It would be more accurate to say the Red River captured the Mississippi than the other way around. If this is confusing see [ [1]] Rip-Saw ( talk) 01:51, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
I've seen some BC articles where "anabranch" has been used for side channels of the Fraser......we just say "slough". See my comment on Talk:Slough (disambiguation) for comments and a pair of images that illustrate a typical Fraser slough. Skookum1 ( talk) 05:55, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
Distributaries, alluvial fans, etc. are getting a substantial amount of research and expert attention due to their engineering and risk-management importance. This article stands to benefit greatly from expert attention. It is also short on examples. For example Asian examples given are confined to India whereas distributaries occur in other countries in the subcontinent (Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh), Southeast Asia (Mekong etc. etc.), China, Russia, and probably others.

The lead states "In some cases, a minor distributary can divert so much water from the main channel that it can become the main route." To me that sounds strange. Isn't then the distributary actually the main channel and what is seen as the "main" channel is actually the distributary? Fomalhaut76 ( talk) 16:06, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
