The 'fish passes' I am familiar with are all man made, they provide fish a way around weirs, dams and locks. They certainly are not intended for human transportation and should not provide a lot of water flow. They are different from spillways, canals and other man made waterways, they are not a sub class to them. If they are not to be considered part of the waterway key then possibly they can be added to the key man_made.

Hello

I personally prefer a few main values in the waterway to define the general cases and subtags for specific cases like this, of the type of usage = fiss_pass. If I am in front of an infrastructure of this type, its physical characteristics will allow me to distinguish if it is a channel, ditch or brook. If it was built for the purpose of fish passing it is a separate issue. Are a fish_pass different in nature to any other waterway? Waterway different in it's construction nature could be used as a fish_pass? If the answers to this questions are no and yes, put the fish_pass value apart of the main waterway key. This form seems simpler and more versatile to me.

By the way: in the table of values added to the wiki there is a strange blank gap between the blue cells of ditch/brook and pressurised. Also the culvert cell is misaligned with respect to the cave cell and others. Is this intentional and has a meaning or an error when constructing the table that can be corrected?

    In case of waterway=fish_pass I think that a new waterway is OK as

    - it is drastically different from other defined waterways
    - is not a navigable waterway
    - is not redefining already mapped objects

        Hi all,

        A discussion has recently started about waterway=fish_pass here :
        https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:waterway%3Dfish_pass
        <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:waterway%3Dfish_pass>

        While writing

<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Hydropower_water_supplies>
        it was asked to not clutter waterway=* with spillway since it
        was a specific usage of a man made canal.
        Such ideas lead to separate waterway nature, usage and
        sometimes supporting infrastructure to get a tagging model
        with 3 different corresponding keys.
        A comprehensive table of waterways natures has been set here :
        https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:waterway#Values
        <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:waterway#Values>

        May it be great to consider usage=fish_pass with waterway=*
        (canal, presumably) for sake of consistency?

        Feel free to read and comment on the Talk page

        All the best

        François
