IMHO it would be ideal if we would have only one high level tag for all surface water, e.g. natural=water. That way we can map it, and then later add more detailed tags (either because initially we didn't know what kind of water it was [a city person might not know about manure lagoons, but they can tell there is some brownish water there], or because there was not yet an established tag for such a sub-feature).</div><div>Mike</div></div></div>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>In the tailings pond proposal, we agreed on man_made=tailings_pond, and no natural=water for those features, because the consensus was that tailings (aka mining waste) was not water. I am by no means a farming expert, but under the same logic, a manure lagoon sounds like it's also not water?</div></div></div>
