                <div>Obviously river conditions change, but I think it's
                  useful to tag what's usually the case:</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>1. creek crossing where generall the water level is
                  so low that you won't have water ingress in your shoes</div>
                <div>2. creek crossing where your body will stay dry but
                  you'll want to take your shoes off if you prefer to
                  keep them dry</div>
                <div>3. river crossing where your body will get wet, may
                  have a rope to help you cross, but you can wade
                  through the water and won't usually need to swim</div>
                <div>4. river crossing where you'll need to swim across</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>I don't like using numbers as values as they aren't
                  self explanatory but I can't think of short terms you
                  could use for tag values.</div>

          <div>How about:</div>
          <br>
          <div>waterway=river/stream +<br>
          </div>
          <div>crossing = (maybe foot_crossing= ?)<br>

          <div>1. paddling <br>

          <div>2. knee_deep</div>
          <div>3. chest_deep</div>
          <div>4. swimming</div>
          <div><br>

          <div>I think they'd be self-explanatory to everybody?<br>
