Looking at wikipedia, it seems that “storm drain” is used in the UK, Canada and the US [1]. And there is an “inlet” [2] associated with it. What are the opinions using: storm_drain = inlet For the location that a surface drainage ditch disappears into an underground storm water system. The tag would most often be used on a node.
