The delta is a region formed where the river flows into an ocean, sea, lake . depositing sediments, leaving a mysterious beauty.

Scientists decided to capture the delta system in the world to see its "entangled" beauty.

Dr. Helene Burningham, lecturer in geology at University College London, said: 'The photos show a variety of forms associated with the river delta. The river delta also provides extremely important ecosystems. "

However, if living around the delta will face many dangers such as flooding, erosion.

Currently, the system of plains tends to change and will occur periodically. The cause of change is due to human activity and the combination of sea level rise and global warming.

According to a statistics, about one-fifth of the world's population lives, breathes and works on one of the world's 40 large plains.
