Degree of difficulty of white water. These are subjective in the good sense of the term.
- See the International Scale of River Difficulty on Wikipedia
If you don't know a grade or can't decide, set it to "unknown". If you don't know about river practise, don't map it at all.
How to map
Add =# to the whitewater section mapped with waterway=river.
You may add whitewater:section_name=* if it has a name.
