Created as a result of river arms cutting off from the main river bed
The cutoff can occur naturally by backfilling with debris carried by the river (on one
or both sides) as a result of stream diversion. In turn, the artificial cutoff is the result
of closing a branch (also on one or both sides) as a result of breakage, construction
of river groynes or transverse dams. A cutoff arm that had closure on one side could
be used as a relief canal or work canal.
