[Talk-us] NHD Flowline Import Question

Hello fellow NHD importers,

I'm wondering how you guys are solving the problem with the NHD flowlines.
In the shapefile, each "reach" of the river is a seperate linestring in the
shapefile. This yields a separate way when imported into OSM. Are you
joining the ways so that they are connected? I remember that the older
CSchmidt shp2osm python script did what it called "glomming" to bring
together ways in these situations.

Thanks! I don't want to start importing flowlines until I figure this one
out.
