I don't want to hijack this thread but the above is not quite correct -
on the wiki the tag was indicated as having issues with verifiability
and discussion was opened regarding this more than a year earlier:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:waterway%3Dwadi&oldid=953081
But you indeed correctly identified the problem that mappers had a
highly variable understanding of what this tag means and its use was
very incoonsistent as a result.
