I think that distinction between canal and drain is well established
(useful vs superflous water) and understandable for common mappers.
waterway=ditch should be discouraged since distinction between drain and
ditches comes with their shape and lining. Another key like structure=*
would be suitable

Whatever the conclusion of this thread will be, the table here should be
carefully updated

As useful water can run in ducts of any width, I don't think so.

Is it possible to introduce waterway=aqueduct for any man made waterway and
replace waterway=drain by waterway=aqueduct + usage=drainage ?

According to past discussions about yes/no values, it seems some people
won't agree at least for irrigation=yes

To me service=irrigation sounds more like a paid subscription for a given
performance.

+1 with Joseph for usage=irrigation

All the best
