<div dir="ltr">I like this proposal very much.<br>One thing: by its nature, other naturals will overlap with natural=wadi, right? Any thoughts on that?<div>And, you say you can map it as a node.

flat channel of an ephemeral stream with distinct banks. This proposal is<br>
the result of previous discussion on the OSM Community Forum [1].<br>
<br>
This proposal suggests that the area between the banks of a wadi should be<br>
mapped as natural=wadi in order to consolidate several ad hoc and inaccurate<br>
tagging schemes for these features.<br>
<br>
This proposal DOES NOT suggest any changes to the mapping of linear water<br>
courses through wadis. These should continue to be mapped as waterway=* +<br>
intermittent=* as appropriate following established practice.<br>
