Description :
This paper reports the results of field measurements made with the objective of documenting the primary (downstream) and secondary (cross-stream) flow fields. Measurements of the velocity components were made in two, active, braided river anabranch confluences with a simple Y-shaped plan form, in the gravelly Sunwapta River.
