I would expect that case (c) would still have the water flowing downhill. Even if you have a series of pumps, water in the sections between the pumps will still flow downhill, not uphill. About the only time I would expect any counterflow would be if water were to be added to a given section rapidly enough that its surface level was temporarily higher than in the upstream section, making that a downhill flow also.

It's on the waterway=river and waterway=stream wiki pages. So how do you specify that (a) you mapped a waterway but don't know the direction of flow, (b) it's a stagnant channel with no real flow, or (c) it's an artificial drainage canal with flow changing based on rainfall and opening or closing of gates? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging -- John F.
