Hi list,<div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote">I want to forward this email from osm-discuss mailing list, because I came across this issue with rivers and lakes also in Japan.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div>

<div class="gmail_quote">When you open the lakes from the link in an editor like JOSM you will see, that there are rivers inside the lakes.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.492&lon=133.151&zoom=11&layers=M">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.492&lon=133.151&zoom=11&layers=M</a></div>

<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">I think this happens due to data imports, so the question is: </div><div class="gmail_quote">shall we keep the rivers as imported or remove rivers when they are within a lake (as Martin says).</div>

<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">I don't think it makes sense to have "virtual" rivers, so I agree with Martin.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Daniel</div>

Yes, usually a river gets "interrupted" when entering a lake, and<br>
restarts when leaving the lake.<br>
