[Tagging] Lake or Pond

Hello List, in the UAE/Emirates Hills area, particular around 'The Springs' there are a number or lakes. All lakes are artificial. Image example here: https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/bjCPLyUtXUhDAvOPqQWeUw Reading through Key:water in the OpenStreetMap Wiki I wonder if these should be tagged as

Re: [Tagging] Lake or Pond

Hi, With artificial I meant it is a hole with a plastic foil. Everything except sand is artificial and needs to be maintainer in this region. I have been contemplating if these lakes are also used as a reservoir for irrigation myself. However I can't confirm or deny this. I'll keep the lake tag

Was the depression, where the water is, formed by man? If so then it could be tagged as a basin .. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dbasin Reservoirs are not only for irrigation, many around me are there to supply water for human consumption. So I don't think the use of the wat

[Tagging] Public Transport v3 — starting RFC

Hi folks, As you might've noticed, in the past year there has been growing discomfort with the current Public Transport tagging schema. Of course, it brought order to our route relations, but also introduced a lot of redundant concepts. We've seen a couple proposals aiming to fix some of issues

Re: [Tagging] Lake or Pond

Form a hyrdomorphology / geomorphology technical perspective, the following key fairly succinctly characterizes the differences.( from http://www.lakescientist.com/lake-facts/how-lakes-differ/ ): *Lakes vs. Ponds* Both lakes and ponds are standing or slow-moving bodies of water. There are no offic

This is a very long and complex proposal, so it will take me a while to digest and respond. I am also alerting the transport mailing lists in English and French. I trust the RFC will be open for at least for a couple of months. Cette proposition (en anglais) est très longue et complexe, il me faud

Hi In the UK the are forty relations as site=railway_station with the role of 'stop'. Am I correct in think these are redundant in relation to the current PT schema? I asked what stop_areas are for on the OSM forum. Could you clarify? The wiki states what they are, but not their usage. Are t

[Tagging] Golf tag combinations

Yet more golf... sigh. Many of the golf tags (golf=green, tee, fairway) are combined with landuse=grass. And other golf tags (water_hazard as an example) use the key natural. To may way of thinking these should use the surface tag e.g. surface=grass, that clearly shows that the surface is s
