the 1st definition sort of agrees with your usage,
the common definition in the U.S. is closer to the
other two. There are several other definitions given
but most of them are similar to those two. So it
will be a bit confusing to use here in the U.S.</span></span></div>

OSM gives a distinction between river and stream.<br>
There should be a similar distinction between 'drain' etc. <br>
It should not be base on the flow of water as that could be hard to
determine - especially if the water is off when mapping.<br>
<br>
For example, 'a drain can be easily stepped over'?<br>
