Hi All, I don't have a problem with a ford (Slab of concrete or gravel base across a water course, wet or dry) or a causeway ( A rock or concrete structure across a water course with the ability of water to pass under during normal season and water over structure during flooding) I don't have a problem with a pier to show a structure along a water course or protruding into a watercourse that is used for marine activities. What I do have a problem with is a rock or concrete wall that is built to control the flow of water as in river mouths and enclosing harbours. Some call them "Breakwalls", some call them "Training Walls", some call them "Breakwaters", some call them "Retaining Walls" and so forth. What do we call them ??? Nearly every river and harbour on the north coast of NSW have them Regards Darylr > ------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Talk-au mailing list > Talk-au@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au > > > End of Talk-au Digest, Vol 23, Issue 7 > ************************************** > > > _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
