Degree of difficulty of white water. These are subjective in the good sense of the term.

See the International Scale of River Difficulty on Wikipedia

If you don't know a grade or can't decide, set it to "unknown". If you don't know about river practise, don't map it at all.

How to map

Add whitewater:section_grade=# to the whitewater section mapped with waterway=river.

You may add whitewater:section_name=* if it has a name.

Values

Grade 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 (see International Scale on Wikipedia)

(White water classification follows its own subjective rules not only described by these pictures, see International Scale)
