That escalated quickly !
Routable doesn't mean navigable at all. Hydrographic routable network is
about where the water goes.
Ditches, canals and river where the same property to carry water somewhere.
You're so focused on particular usage that anything else is non-sense. This
is really questionable.

We'd really better to separate concepts in different keys between water
ways and other features like dams, fuel places or piers which doesn't carry
water at all.

This was my 2 cts
