    Yes. <br>
    Complication .. a historic king tide combined with a storm event may
    be considered a historic flood level. <br>
    But 'normal' high tides should be part of the water way tagging
    system. <br>

                      to get the gist.<br>
                      There are ordinary high water marks (and I suppose
                      also the opposite, ordinary low water marks) which
                      are based on the regular tides in the area.<br>
                      A flood mark would be a marker for the water level
                      reached in certain, particular events.<br>
                      I am not sure about terminology in different
                      jurisdictions, but the concept seems to be clear
                      to me that there are two different things we want
                      to tag.<br>

                  I would like it to be so:<br>
                  - flood marks as flood signs,<br>
                  - highwater marks as tide signs.<br>
                  But even in recent scientific papers this division is
                  not so clear.<br>
                  <br>
                  Another issue is that from the beginning, on OSM wiki<br>
                  <a

                  mark related to floods is described as<br>
                  historic=highwater_mark<br>
                  <br>
                  What would be the optimal tagging solution from OSM
                  point of view?<br>
