Since drinking fountains are man-made rather than natural features, they usually have a date when they are turned on or off.
This can be specified with the key "opening_hours=*" - this is the common British English term used to say "when is this this feature open and available". See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:opening_hours for details on how this is used. Examples: For a drinking fountain which is turned on sometime in April and is turned off sometime in November, you can use "opening_hours=Apr-Nov". If the fountain or drinking fountain will be turned on April 10th and turned off November 25th, you would use "opening_hours=Apr 10-Nov 25" And if you have a drinking fountain which is only turned on during certain daytime hours in the northern summer, you can use something like "opening_hours=Jun-Aug: 6:30-18:30" - Joseph Eisenberg On 1/15/20, European Water Project <europeanwaterproj...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear All, > > Would it be appropriate to use the tag "seasonal" for a water fountain > (whether tagged as "amenity=drinking_water" or "amenity = fountain and > drinking_water = yes" )? > > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:seasonal > > > On the natural=spring page, the combination "natural=spring and seasonal= * > " was suggested. > > But the combination of drinking_water= yes or amenity=fountain with tag > seasonal was not suggested. > > Best regards, > > Stuart > _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
