I was not making geographical argument. No river anywhere branches out as it flows down hill. Branches of a river come together on the downward path not apart. The nearest thing to what is described is in Cambodia where the Mekong River overflows it's banks in the wet season near Phnom Penh into a short river and then into a lake (Tonle Sab). So for part of the year, the Mekong river branches out. A similar situation occurs on the Nile with Al Fayyum Lake and in southern California with the San Gabriel River and the Rio Hondo. Those situations are at best seasonal and involve one branch, not four.
