[Talk-GB] Tagging Mill Races / Leats / Lades

[Ken Kilfedder]

Per the wiki "Use waterway=canal for man-made open flow (free flow vs pipe flow) waterways used to carry useful water for transportation, hydro-power generation OR irrigation purposes."   E.g. there are a range of purposes for which waterway=canal is used.

The access tags could be used to make it clear - access=no and/or boat=no.
