Fwiw, I'd start using a new tag, maybe "waterway=drainage_area", and
make a note in the wiki. Marking it "drain, area=yes" implies that
this is an actual running drain that happens to be quite wide at that
point.

Incidentally, to make sure I'm understanding what we're talking about,
you're talking about an area where water runs *into*, in order to seep
into the soil?
