Has anyone mapped a swale [1], which is a long, narrow, and usually shallow trough for rainwater filtration? I ran across one yesterday which I mapped as a natural=water, intermittent=yes and water=swale. Is there is a better tag for the feature?
You can see it rendered on [2] below. Pictures of the swale are in [3] below. Since the swales were in a defined rectangular box, I mapped it as a polygon.
