For example I have just been updating a local ford well-known to me,
over the River Rea at Neen Savage:

That section of the river is mapped as an area, so I have added an
area of it as landuse=ford where it is also an area of road.
The ford is only the highway across the river. That's mapped correctly
as a way with a ford=yes tag:

I'd delete your area & the ford=yes node. I'd also add a weir tag to the
downstream side to indicate the sudden drop in water level.
I have been mapping local waterways as areas, where both banks are
shown as such on OS OpenData. It is a tedious process because river
banks are usually so wiggly. So I do a bit at a time as my time permits.
To your natural=water I'd add the complimentary tag water=river to make
it easier for data consumers to find just rivers.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:water gives a variety of options.
