Loops in waterways are detected and shown on:
WaterwayMap.org/loops.
Points at which waterways end are shown on: WaterwayMap.org/ends.
To detect places where waterways (e.g. rivers) flow into a stream, a GeoJSON file of those is generated: data.waterwaymap.org/planet-waterway-stream-ends.geojson.gz (~ 2 MiB compressed). It can be loaded into JOSM to find errors.
It was asked for in issue 52, with the code in commit 4730275.
A CSV file of statistics of loops is generated and available for download at
data.waterwaymap.org/waterwaymap.org_loops_stats.csv. See the
osm-lump-ways documentation on the CSV stats
file
for documentation.
It is used by @[email protected] for a
mastodon account summarizing stats:

A CSV statistics file of end points, is also generated dails and downloadable at
data.waterwaymap.org/waterwaymap.org_ends_stats.csv.zst.
See the osm-lump-ways
documentation
for file format.
