Inland deltas Okavango DeltaIn  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. The  Inner Niger Delta, Peace–Athabasca Delta, and Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta are notable examples. The Amazon also has an inland delta before the island of Marajó , and the  Danube has one in the valley on the Slovak-Hungarian border between Bratislava and Iža . In the Philippines, you would find Pampanga River as it enters the Central Luzon Plain in Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija as another example of an inland delta, as well as Liguasan Marsh of the Mindanao River .
