I just wanted to emphasise that this proposal isn't really about whether to tag qanats - it's about whether to tag them with man_made=qanat or waterway=canal+canal=qanat.

There's already 1000 tagged, and they're very patchy geographically. It's quite likely there's upwards of 100,000

It would be great to be able to formally deprecate man_made=qanat before it becomes de facto.

Hopefully we can get enough interest in this issue for the vote to be convincing.


The issue with waterway=qanat could be that it is only applicable to those structures that still carry water, while many of them will not be in a working state, or maybe I’m misguided?

I could imagine using historic=aqueduct with a subtag aqueduct=qanat for all of them, and add the waterway tag to distinguish working from nonworking?


The use of the lifecycle prefixes should be used.

disused:*=* for things that can easily be put back into use.

abandoned:*=* for things that require a lot of work and $ to be put back into use

and so on.


disused:waterway=canal+canal=qanat ???
