Hi OSM:
I checked the wetlands wiki but it is not clear how to differentiate lakes and wetlands when mapping them.
Here is an example of a lake surrounded by wetlands.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=16/-2.3902/30.2600
Are the wetlands to be included as part of the lake?
Or, should the lake only include the open water, with a separate area indicating adjoining wetlands? I think this is better but I’ve seen both ways on OSM.
Also, I presume the best way to make a good connection between a lake boundary and an adjoining wetland boundary is to place the nodes on top of one another to create a single, consistent boundary line.
Thanks
