actually, I have used <br>
warterway=spillway<br>
intermittent=yes<br>
in the past, reasoning that this particular spillway (<a

flooded (regularly during high tides for example)<br>

</span>I've seen these tagged as waterway=drain which is
close but agree that<br>
waterway=spillway is better. Would be great to have this

There is at least one 'spillway' that is a pipe in the lake ...
shaped like a funnel for flow ... but it is not your traditional
'spillway' in that it does not go over the wall but under. <br>
In that case 'drain' is a more appropriate word... but the function
is still a spillway. <br>
