<pre wrap="">Yes. I think that is exactly the important point and a very good
description/criterion. flood_prone=yes for things that are <span class="moz-txt-underscore"><span class="moz-txt-tag">_</span>not<span class="moz-txt-tag">_</span></span>
designed to be flooded. </pre>

<big><br>
No! Flood prone means that they are expected to be flooded from
time to time. Nothing about the design. I'd hope that the
flood_prone tag would be applied to an area, and best if the
frequency is noted e.g. once every 100 years. </big><br>

<br>
<big>Again no. A ford may be continuously under water. E.G. a road
that goes through a river .. where the river normally flows across
the top of the road. Some fords may only have water in floods,
others seasonally, and others continuously. <br>
