Tagging of the lack of water is crucial to backpackers and presumably overlanders. 4) It lets you readily map campsites based on a printed park service map, where the location and amenities are clear, but you've never visited. There is not one style of mapping. Trying to cram everything into one grand scheme does not work (example: trying to cram sewage disposal and recycling into the waste disposal tag).
