Hah, I'd never really thought of this before. I guess a lot of times I 
start tracing from the sea backwards inland, so I've probably got this 
wrong a few times.

It started me thinking though. If you were able to get the elevation 
data for the start point and end point of a waterway, you could probably 
work out the direction of flow from that, and apply it automagically.

So what about canals? :-)
