As the another mapper who was mentioned I am not entirely sure is it drinking fountain, but what I know:
- it is intended to directly provide drinking water to people in city center - it is possible to drink directly from it (but that may be unfeasible for example for someone older and with reduced mobility) - it is easy to fill bottle etc from it - what about example at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:fountain%3Ddrinking - mapped at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/10052493601 It seems that entire drinking water scheme is a horrific mess and filled with confusing terms, many of them misinterpreted by mappers, what makes it even more confusing :) The mentioned discussion concerns https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dwater_tap examples Oct 3, 2022, 10:02 by 61sundow...@gmail.com: > > HI, > > > > > > I don't think this is a drinking fountain, another mapper does.. what is > your opinion? > > > > > > https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Water_flowing_from_drinking_water_tap.jpg/375px-Water_flowing_from_drinking_water_tap.jpg > > > > > > Not .. not after water quality nor if it is a tap etc.. just if it is a > 'drinking fountain'. > > > > > > Humm looking at > > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:fountain%3Ddrinking> and oxford > dictionary "> a device that supplies water for drinking in public > places" > > > > > > It looks like any tag (with potable water) is a 'drinking fountain' > .. indeed most amenity=drinking_water, man_made=water_well, etc will > also be drinking fountains. > >
