<p>I have a topic started at Belgium forum about tagging waterways,
and found a link about 'Flanders classification-system' ->
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=659424#p659424">https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=659424#p659424</a></p>
<p>Also, me thinks ; 'keep it simple' ... meaning ; all things, and
also waterways can have a wikidata-code-number ->
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page">https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page</a></p>
<p>which links to wikipedia (and other links), and there, on
wikipedia can one find/define then a broad description of that
waterway(or other 'thing') .</p>
<p>Also, we, on OSM , have often to choose between ; <br>
</p>
<p>'very small' waterway = <b>ditch</b> (or some tag it as 'drain'
) <b>width < 1 meter </b></p>
<p>'small waterway' = <b>stream width 1 - 3 meter</b></p>
<p>'big(ger) waterway = <b>river width > 3 meter</b></p>
<p>that's my thinking about -><br>

OpenStreetMap is that a stream can be jumped across by an
active, able-bodied person</a></p>
