How do you determine if it is </span><br>

<p>Most ponds that I add are as a result of survey, so "should not
be mapped because it is not observable on the ground" doesn't make
a lot of sense to me. To be honest, I usually just leave them as
natural=water, but that's just my laziness.<br>

<p>As it stands right now in the wiki I suggest we either
deprecate the tag completely or change the definition to
something that is observable on the ground.</p>

<p>If you're sat there looking at a pond, it's usually pretty
obvious whether it's man-made or not. Has it got a man-made dam
at one side and is it fed by obviously man-made ditches? Then
it's probably man-made. Is it just in a natural dip in the ground
with none of those features? Then it probably isn't.</p>
<p>Even if you're looking at imagery some of those features will
still be visible - mill ponds show up pretty clearly, as do the
waterways created to feed them. <br>
