How to map a paddle/lock gate to control water level in ponds?

0

Hello, there.

How am I supposed to map paddle or lock gates (I'm not sure of the English word) for controlling water levels in ponds or small canals, like this:

Until then, I mapped them as waterway=lock_gate, but doesn't it model lock gates for boats only?

Awaiting your answers,

Regards.

Hi Pengal That is a sluice gate, I found this proposal https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/sluice_gate .

So it looks like

  • waterway=flow_control
  • flow_control=sluice_gate
