I keep bumping into small canals and sections all over lahore and in
and around punjab.

I Thinks its time to systematically map at least all the major water
works in the country.

Read this:
http://pakistaniat.com/2006/10/30/punjab-link-canal-irrigation/

This is a lot of correct info all in one place, we just need to find
them on the map if they are not thee already and map them.

Here a schematic:

All these water works and canals etc can be such a great landscape as
well as recreational feature, only if people give them the due respect
and look at them as more than just neher's and rajbah's.

But lets get them mapped first. Polygons preferred so that the map can
show a proper water body.

Hope fully the River drawing attribute and the issues with it will be
fixed as well.

Good work initiated momers. I'm still busy with highways and major
routes but I'll try to give time to water navigation on the go.
However, I would beg to all other participants in it to mark correct
category as I've seen most of ford, distributory, canal etc almost
everything is being marked as rivers which in fact is not correct as
we only have countable number of rivers. Thanks
