The thing I am tagging is not a dam. It is a series of flood basins, one of which is a "reservoir". They are made by levees that surround the rivers, but in a very complicated way. They eventually return all the water back to the river, shortly after it is captured. I explain that below, if y

I suppose waterway=weir plus intermittent=yes would describe it, but I don't think that's as good as a specific spillway tag. On Thu, Mar 23, 2017 at 6:52 AM, Andrew Harvey wrote: > On 22 March 2017 at 16:56, Dave Swarthout wrote: > > Weir does not seem appropriate for this type of thing. The

Ah yea, emergency=yes is bad. 3 questions: - mapping levees/dykes with additional area extent tags (like river+ riverbank) - mapping spillways in a similar fashion. - mapping levee control gates (buried in the levee) ~~ Javbw > On Mar 22, 2017, at 9:42 PM, Greg Troxel wrote: > > A

Weir does not seem appropriate for this type of thing. There is a tag, waterway=spillway, that seems like a good fit - 81 uses so far. You could also add emergency=yes to the above or create a new tag, emergency=spillway Cheers Dave On Wed, Mar 22, 2017 at 12:25 PM, Mark Wagner wrote: > On We

How do you tag an emergency spillway? I am tagging a giant flood control reservoir in my region. The “lake” is surrounded by giant man-made embankments on all sides, surrounded by an additional set of embankments, with gates to let the water out. There is no dam per se, because there is ~200
