"it would be an explicit way to tag the beginning, otherwise you can't tell
whether the start of a river in OSM is also the start of the actual river,
or if there are missing parts in OSM."
You make a good point Martin. I hadn't thought of that but that's another
reason for using an explicit tag.

I agree with Dave here: the first node in t
Hi Dave
Won't the first node of the named way that's most upstream indicate its
start point by default?
What advantages will adding a specific 'it starts here' tag bring?

Thanks. Actually, the example you gave uses the tagging Stephan suggested,
that is, to tag the first node of a waterway with natural=spring.
Apparently, the Thames rises from a spring. I found several other examples
using Overpass Turbo and I think the tagging below is good
waterway=source

waterway:start=yes
name=Colville River

Not in this case. If the stream started at a spring, that is a place where
water comes from the within the earth, that would be fine but the Colville
begins at the place where two smaller streams come together to form a
larger
