I’ve not seen a suggestion for this case yet that has any traction. . . It occurred to me that the area where water flow disappears is indeterminate [1], thus the problem mapping it.
> Definition of indeterminate: > 1a : not definitely or precisely determined or fixed : vague > b : not known in advance > c : not leading to a definite end or result Or from my old microprint edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (please excuse any transcription errors): > 1. Not definitely set down; undetermined. > 2. Not fixed in extent, number, character or nature; left uncertain as to > limits of extent, number, etc.; of uncertain size or character; indefinite, > indistinct, uncertain. Perhaps a “indeterminate=yes” tag on the last node of a water way that “peters out” [2] could be used to signal the QA tools that the end of a water way is not a mistake. Might be useful in cases other than an ephemeral water way in the desert though I haven’t thought of one yet. Cheers!
