Discussion on the current reservoir proposal[1] (which seeks to define the distinction between reservoirs, lakes, and ponds) has brought up the question of stream/plunge pools[2,3], and how they fit into the lake/pond definitions.
I've come up with the following text: "Occasionally a river or stream will form a stream pool or plunge pool, which are bodies of water that naturally occur along the course of the waterway. These waterbodies may either be tagged as a lake or (usually) pond if they are named or significant in size, or else they can be simply conflated with the river." Is this distinction satisfactory? How are folks tagging these features? [1] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Reservoir [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_pool [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plunge_pool
