Hi,
There is a draft to tag floodplains using the key natural.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/floodplain
My thinking is that this would lead to conflicts with other 'natural'
tags .. like natural=scrub than may be applied to the same area.
So .. what would be the best key to use for this feature/value?
I am thinking that as it is associated with a waterway (it must start to
flood from somewhere and that is usually a waterway) that the key
waterway should be used. It would have rendering similar to a lake - but
'intermittent' so dashed lines rather than a solid colour.
Thoughts?
{There is presently flooding in some areas of Australia, why my thoughts
have turned to this. All too soon it will turn to bushfires}
