water=lake - large natural bodies of water water=reservoir - large man-made bodies of water water=pond - small man-made bodies of water The only ambiguity is the vagueness of small vs. large, and local naming conventions (something is named Lake Blah, when it is technically a reservoir because it's man-made - Big Creek Lake in southern Alabama, for example). http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:water Personally, I'd vote for removing the double tagged water=lake;pond since it's redundant and should be one or the other, not both, and ensuring that each feature had a natural=water tag. Mappers at a later time could determine whether or not to add a water=lake or water=pond (or water=reservoir) tag to the feature. > > _______________________________________________ > Imports mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports > -- Eric Ladner
