Hello
What is the usual (or sensible) way to tag small canals like mill
races (example: [^1]) or small irrigation channels (example: [^2]),
i.e. the small equivalent of waterway=canal?

you can’t, or you would have to introduce a new tag. Are they „housenumbers“?
If they are not, you should not use the tag.

There are thousands of kilometers of irrigation waterways scattered around
Thailand. Many but not all of these are concrete lined and may be from 1 to
5 meters across. The Thai word used in names for the larger ones is "klong",
which means "canal" in English.

could be the result of an effort to map the earthquake resistance of buildings
in certain areas. I wouldn’t expect Joe Mapper to use this term for a building
structure.

Hello, i was wondering whether there was a way to tag areas that may be
risky/dangerous to walk in? i can think of a few streets that could use
the tag, was there anything of the sort that has been agreed on?
