Hi all, Im looking at the canvec feature of this (along with the others related) 147011* [image: Way] <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Elements#Way> Single line watercourse None, non isolated, intermittent waterway=stream; water=intermittent; name=*; fixme=Feature type and 148007* [image: Area]<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Elements#Area_.28closed_way_.29> Waterbody Watercourse, isolated, intermittent waterway=riverbank; water=intermittent, name=* the proposal page is here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Water_cover and the canvec feature page is here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec:_Hydrography_%28HD%29 ...
I worked on a sample here, just outside of Empress, Alberta (in Saskatchewan) I just guessed on the landuse=meadow; natural=grass (someone local can fix it) .. with photos. But for the riverbank etc. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?minlon=-109.9555934&minlat=50.9222072&maxlon=-109.9224953&maxlat=50.9461371&box=yes natural=water (is standard to vaguely describe some type of water) unfortunately we dont use natural=water;water=lake, but we DO use natural=wetland ( with wetland=marsh for non-flowing water) but water=river isn't used. nor is natural=river used. yet waterway=stream is used. So i think that waterway=tidal should be used, with natural=water. So for the main river parts (the main waterflow area), i propose natural=water; waterway=riverbank; name=*; source=*; attribution=* (if needed) then for the river banks (the sides where after a rainfall it's not distinguishable, but in a drout it's a sand area & if left longer plan-life would grow. So the water level is 'intermittent'. Hence the original value of water=intermittent, so i propose natural=wetland; name*; source=*; attribution=*(if needed) As tagging it was "natural=wetland" where the polygon is directly inside the "waterway=riverbank" ... makes this wetland flooded. So i think it makes sence. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/53097360 Thanks, Sam Twitter: @Acrosscanada Blog: http://Acrosscanadatrails.blogspot.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans Skype: samvekemans OpenStreetMap IRC: http://irc.openstreetmap.org @Acrosscanadatrails
