A confluence, where two or more bodies of water meet together, usually refers to the joining of tributaries.
The opposite to a tributary is a distributary, a river or stream that branches off from and flows away from the main stream. Distributaries are most often found in river deltas.
It literally means that many branches of water bodies join at a point and make tributaries while a water body divides into many branches to form distributaries.
