Hi all and thank you for those interesting developments My point is all about semantics and ease the mappers' work Like everyone, I agree to distinguish pressurized fire hydrants, and "dry" hydrants like ones where a pump is required to get water. But not in favor of an additional value of emergency key. This will lead to extra large and cluttered like emergency=big_yellow_fire_hydrant and emergency=small_cap_covering_underground_valve It's really interesting both from mapper and consumer view to use several keys to give pieces of information.
In some countries, pressurized hydrants and dry points have the same shape, only their colour change. There is 100% chance a not knowledgable mapper will use emergency=fire_hydrant instead of anything else. This is a dry "hydrant" : https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:French_hydrant_water_pond.jpg Pressurized or not, there are connectorized pipes wich allow firefighters to get water which have a given appearance on ground (barrel, underground, pipe...) Even if it's not always pressurized, the design of such things is done as to allow the water to flow under pressure (gravity, pumped or whatever) and that's why I like to think "dry" and "pressurized" "hydrants" are all members of the same set of feature. Otherwise, you have ponds, wells, which are open field water sources In a second time, i respectably disagree (without shortening the good work done) to namespaces keys suction_point:, fire_hydrant: and so on... In some cases they are redundant and don't ease the key name typing in editors without pressets. It may be great to don't encourage them, please. Let's keep up with looking for the best tagging Cheers François *François Lacombe* fl dot infosreseaux At gmail dot com www.infos-reseaux.com @InfosReseaux <http://www.twitter.com/InfosReseaux> 2017-08-17 12:54 GMT+02:00 Colin Smale <colin.sm...@xs4all.nl>: > Suction point is probably not the right word in English.
