Summary
There has been a discussion in the german OSM forum about torrent control structures in Austria (and other countries). We want to introduce two new tags for these torrent control structures: check_dam; beam_dam.
check_dam
 |
A check dam is a drop structure to lower the speed of water flow. Unlike a waterway=weir a check dam isn't built to dam up water or diverte it into a channel. |
beam_dam
 |
Is a structure to hold back debris and trunks and to control the water flow. |
|
How to Map
|
These structures can be drawn as nodes directly on the stream or as ways crossing the stream. It is possible to add tags like height=* |
