If you check this article http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/sightseers-flood-to-spilling-dam/story-e6frg6nf-1225936851387 you will find the following synonyms used floodgate spillway gate spillgate sluice gate and here is the official picture of Wivenhoe Dam http://www.seqwater.com.au/public/sites/default/files/userfiles/image/dams/wivenhoe_spillway.jpg and the official picture of Somerset Dam http://www.seqwater.com.au/public/sites/default/files/userfiles/image/dams/somerset_dam2.jpg here, in irrigated agriculture the small things are called "pipe ends" and "headwalls" I don't think either of these terms are suitable. http://www.colyconcrete.com.au/images/content-images/altin-headwall-steeldoor-2.jpg http://www.colyconcrete.com.au/images/content-images/altin-headwall-steeldoor-1.jpg http://www.colyconcrete.com.au/images/content-images/altin-headwall-stepped-2.jpg _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
