How to map
To map a small weir add a node along a river and tag it waterway=weir, if the weir has a name tag it name=*.
If the Weir is long enough to be mapped as a way, create a way along the length of the weir and tag it waterway=weir, again add a name=* if it is known.
Sometimes a fish pass is related with the Weir.
