Why shouldn't it? Probably depends on the situation, but if the occur on an object that we generally tag with waterway, it should be clear. This technique was already used in ancient Rome for special parts of aqueducts (where they had to bypass an obstacle). Aren't they a kind of culvert? Btw.: I just found out that in the case of wastewater this is called a depressed sewer in English. http://www.kw-ag.at/Files/inverted.jpg http://www.k0lee.com/blog/uploaded_images/siphon2-775129.jpg http://www.expogreenway.org/Inverted%20Siphons.htm Cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
