there are some very few occurences of previously mentioned "flow_direction"
http://taginfo.osm.org/keys/flow_direction#overview
we could also use incline=up/down (is in use, but rarely in conjunction
with waterways)

More often I found the undocumented "oneway:flow"
http://taginfo.osm.org/keys/oneway%3Aflow
(there is a oneway restriction in flow direction?) values are yes/no.

There are also 634 times "FlowDir" (atypical key name, likely from an
import)

Personally from the values in use that I found I'd go with "flow_direction"
(values in use are "forward" and "both"), because its not an abbreviation
and quite verbose in what it is describing. "oneway:flow" doesn't make much
sense to me.

cheers,
Martin
