A river delta is a landform that forms from deposition of sediment carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or standing water. This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot transport away the supplied sediment.Despite a popular legend, this use of the word delta was not coined by Herodotus.n rare cases the river delta is located inside a large valley and is called an inverted river delta. Sometimes a river divides into multiple branches in an inland area, only to rejoin and continue to the sea. Such an area is called an inland delta, and often occurs on former lake beds.
Prior to understanding deltas it is first important to understand rivers. Rivers are defined as fresh bodies of water that generally flow from high elevations toward the ocean, lake or another river. In some instances however, they do not make it to the ocean-they instead flow into the ground.he upper delta plain is the area nearest to the land. It is usually the area with the least water and highest elevation. The subaqueous delta is the portion of the delta that is closest to the sea or body of water into which the river flows. This area is usually past the shoreline and it is below water level.
