[Tagging] Drain vs ditch

[Tony Shield]

I'm not in favour of combining ditch and drain. My mind sees a ditch as 
a dug-out stream which may flow into a stream or flow into a drain, the 
drain being a much larger flow. I see drains as having water flow 
several metres wide but a ditch as less than a metre of surface flow.
