The tag water=ditch is used with natural=water to map the water covered area of a waterway=ditch: a simple artificial waterway serving as a barrier or for draining surrounding land. Should contain a waterway=ditch way inside.
How to map
Draw the ditch area outline.
If the ditch is very long, it must be divided into several segments.
Add natural=water and water=ditch.
Also map a separate way with waterway=ditch in the direction of water flow. All tags of the ditch (like name=* and other supplemental tags) should go to this center line.
