WikiProject Europe/E-waterway network
The pan European E-waterway network is a numbering system for navigable waterways in Europe administered by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). The network is numbered from E01 up and many of its waterways cross national borders. (unece.org The network of inland waterways in Europe and its parameters).
This page tries to track status of each of these routes.
Members of the relation
Each way should have these tags:
Each way might have these tags:
Please do not route via:
Tags for the relation
Each way making up any single E-waterway route is added to a relation and that relation is given at least these tags:
And preferable:
- name=* for instance: International waterway E999
- ref:signed=no (to mark it as a non-signed route)

Notes
The E-waterway table below notes some restrictions on navigability. UNECE.org calls these 'bottlenecks' either 'basic' or 'strategic'.
Basic Bottlenecks
are the sections of E waterways whose parameters, at the present time, are not in conformity with the requirements applicable to inland waterways of international importance in accordance with the new classification of European inland waterways (CEMT class IV).
Strategic Bottlenecks
are other sections satisfying the basic requirements of the CEMT class IV but which, nevertheless, ought to be modernized in order to improve the structure of the network or to increase the economic capacity of inland navigation traffic.
