What is a segmented rapid?

Segmented rapids are split into two or more separate channels by islands, gravel bars or rock, so the river runs as several rapids side by side. The channels can differ greatly in difficulty, and at low water one may be dry. Only a few rapids in the survey carry this label; most braided rapids are listed under the general category.
