Anyone have river maps?

Why do rivers exhibit fractal behaviour and how can I abuse this fact as a geomancer?

>>52323680
Gravity.

Is there anywhere ever a river that splits in two and feeds into two different bigger rivers that go different ways?

I don't really see why not

>>52323860
Kongo is famous for this. If not a single connection of two small rivers, half of Kongo delta wouldn't EXIST and the river would be 2/3 shorter

Pics?
Can't really see it in that pic >>52323511

I think he confused Niger (where this happens) with Kongo.
If not that extra inflow, Niger would end up in those marshes and dry up.

And the biggest joke about Niger is how it starts almost next to the ocean... and then goes through half of Africa to finally get into the sea.

Niger doesn't split in two and feed itno two different bigger rivers that go different ways though.
Just a split, another tributary, and then it they merge again.

That's pretty embarrassing

You can follow it on gmaps from here:

Not the same guy, but I don't see it at all.
Looking for a tributary that splits in two and feeds into two separate river systems, right?

>>52324209
>>52324255
It's just more than a singular inflow.
Like every river has that.
That's not what >>52323860
asked for

>>52324477
Yes, looking for that, exactly.

>>52324477
>>52324490
It's exactly what the guy asked. I get it, it doesn't look like one on the map, but maps aren't exactly famous from showing the direction the water flows and how it divides. Either way it's precisely what the guy wanted.

Where?

Congos mouth is in the atlantic ocean, Lualaba flows into Congo, Luyua flows into Lualaba.

So which is the tributary, and what's the other river system that it flows into? I'd love to know, I find this stuff fascinating.

>>52324189
the amazon used to flow west into the pacific before uplift

>>52327581
Okay

>>52323511
Am I stupid or does thsi map imply that the Sahara is full of tiny rivers? Why is it so arid then?

>>52327915
undeground water flows I think

I believe they are wadis, dry riverbeds that only have water after heavy rainfall. Notice how they don't reach the ocean, since they quickly evaporate.
The map's dataset included them for whatever reason.

Ah cool. Thanks.

This account has some more of those: imgur.com/user/Fejetlenfej/submitted

I inverted the colors on this one because I thought it might be easier to look at

shame there's not one for the whole world

Drawing borders by the edges of watersheds instead of at the edge of rivers is fun
