Hi, recently someone mapped a lot of fountains here, so tried to find out how they should be tagged. But I failed. I found both natural=water or landuse=basin to be in use for those features, but both have their flaws.
natural=water - wiki page doesn't specify, but details, examples and name imply the use for a natural feature - but it is used for all kinds of water features, man made or natural (more of a landcover-like tag) - not able to get specific usage figures from taginfo due to variety of uses. landuse=basin - wiki page doesn't specify, but key and sub-types seem to fit for large stormwater/rainwater installations only - not that much in use according to taginfo Do you know any other tag fitting small scale, urban, man made enclosures of water (possibly fed by a fountain or well)? I can see this equally well in the amenity= or man_made= namespace. Or just keeping it with amenity=fountain mapped as an area? Or tag both? Opinions?
