In the OSM sense both ditches and drains are artificial.   You dig a ditch
in the ground,
hence the term "ditch digging."   Drains are essentially ditches that are
lined with concrete.

You appear to be talking about small streams.  Which are, as far as OSM is
concerned, just
streams.  Using either drain or ditch for a natural stream, even a small
one, is tagging for the
renderer.
