I daresay there is no way and no need to clarify the meanings of "small" and "large" for artificial waterways. We can leave this up to the user to decide on it. Even the definition of a steam as "you can jump over it" is not really observed. You can jump over a 1-1.5 meter waterway but people are tagging 3 meter wide waterways as steams as well because otherwise there would be a big difference between the stream 1-1.5 and river 1.5-10 meter width ranges (waterways greater than 10m can already be mapped with waterbodies, so I don't mention them there). In the place where I live drainage ditches and drains can be from 0.1 to 5 meters wide, and anything greater then that can be called a canal.
