Hello, My name is Stuart Rapoport. This my first message on the UK OSM forum, so I decided to give an introduction to our project before jumping into the thread regarding the tag drinking_water:refill = yes.
A small group of us have recently started a project called European Water Project. Our project is 100% collaborative and 100% open data, powered by OSM and wikidata. Our goal is to help empower individuals to reduce single use waste in their lives. With the help of many (including OSM members in Italy, Switzerland, France, and Spain), we have written a set of instructions available in 7 languages for adding new water fountains to OSM and as well as instructions on how to add photos to Wikimedia Commons and link them back : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CH/Project/European_Water_Project We have developed a Progressive Web Application which allows individuals to find nearby locations where they can refill their sustainable water bottle for free anywhere in Europe. We strive to contribute to the builiding of a collaborative network of foutains, cafes, restaurants and other establishments which are willing to allow individuals to fill up their water bottle as part of the battle agains single-use waste. There are currently over 235,000 fountains and 70 cafés available on the App. Our web App is available directly at https://europeanwaterproject.org (installation instructions are in the hamburger menu). A description of the project and the project genesis : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1f0dts-RErPepgrEnddSAOh1rDqpxMYC3 Best regards, Stuart Rapoport >
