Stream and plunge pools are a part of rivers (per WP definition), and I don't intend to address river tagging as part of the reservoir/lake/pond proposal[1]. Therefore, what makes the most sense is to simply scrub mention of pools and rivers from the proposal and leave it squarely focused on reservoirs, lakes, and ponds. </div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I wouldn't scrub all mention but replace what you have with "Mapping of</div><div>stream pools and plunge pools is currently unresolved."
