Braided

Braids in the Rakaia River, Canterbury. The Rakaia, which flows from the Southern Alps/Kā Tiritiri o te Moana to the Pacific Ocean/Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa across the Canterbury Plains/Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, is one of the largest braided rivers in New Zealand. The water's blue colour is due to reflections from floating glacial sediment.
