Description

A smaller man-made waterway or swale created to channel water away, draining the nearby area. They are usually straight (as opposed to natural streams), 0.5-2 meters deep and 0.5-1 meter wide, and often found along roads in rural areas.

Ditches may contain little water or even be dry most of the year.

Note

If the ditch is wide, consider using waterway=canal. See also waterway=drain.
