<p>I'm not in favour of combining ditch and drain. My mind sees a
ditch as a dug-out stream which may flow into a stream or flow
into a drain, the drain being a much larger flow. I see drains
as having water flow several metres wide but a ditch as less
than a metre of surface flow.</p>

Those differences can be mapped using the key width. <br>
<br>
Other than the width .. what other differences do you see? <br>
<br>
To me; <br>
<br>
a drain is a ditch that only provides for water removal. Some of
these are small - less that 1 meter wide. The direction of water
flow will tell you if it is a supply or a removal (drain) system. <br>
<br>
a ditch could provide water supply or removal and possibly in some
cases either depending on water levels? <br>

This would require to deprecate "drain" and remove it from the
presets, otherwise we will continue to have 2 tags in the long
run. As far as I know deprecating a tag is only possible if
it's usage declines. Currently its usage increases steadily. How
do you intend to change that? What is the incentive for the
mapper to use "ditch" instead of "drain" from now on? <span style="color: rgb(33, 33,

will notice the change on the wiki pages.</span><br>
