[Talk-nz] LINZ data import: JOSM and a question about tagging

[Mike Kittridge]

Hi Kyle,

Wouldn't those waterways be tagged as waterway=canal?
"Water races" seem by OSM definition to be canals:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Dcanal

The usage=irrigation tag seems appropriate.

Ditches seem to be defined as waterways designed to drain land.

Regards,
Mike
