• Looks good, a yes from me. Thanks for the time spent on the drawings! I've been using man_made=dam but this is equally logical. It would be nice, but not vital, to introduce a convention for which side is "up" and "down" for linear drawing, e.g. down is to the right of the line in the direction of drawing. This convention could then be applied to weirs and cliffs - it is cliffs that I'm really wanting if for. MikeCollinson 08:32, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
• And another thought, this could also be used for levees perhaps or should they have there own tag? A levee is one of those long embankments along rivers in low lying areas to stop them flooding. MikeCollinson 08:32, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
  • As a none native speaker, I'm a bit confused about the differences to embankment=yes. Could someone clarify this for me? -- Ulfl 09:14, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
• embankment=yes is a tag added that can theoretically be added to a road to indicate it is raised above the surrounding country. A levee is a stand-alone embankment with no road on top. Mike, I have seen levees drawn on maps as thick black lines, I think that would work well. For the up/down, since we have water on the right for coastlines, it would make sense to have down is to the right. --Swampwallaby 11:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Excellent!! MikeCollinson 15:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

• wouldn't it be cool, to map very big dams as an area? --Cbm 00:13, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

node for waterway=dam

--acrosscanadatrails 13:47, 17 July 2009 (UTC) in the GeoBaseNHN import, a single node can be presented for those dams which are really small, and the rivers are represented by ways rather than areas. Can I import these, even though they dont yet get rendered?
