[Tagging] Proposed features - RFC 2 - Pressurized waterways

Hi all,

Thank you for clear definition.

Then, I'm wondering what would be the difference between a canal and an
aqueduct?
Can the aqueduct be open air or only established in closed space ?

Are we talking about a new value like waterway=aqueduct ?


All the best

François
