Hallo. There is no life without water. I think that amenity=drinking-water is the most-valuable tag that we deal with. It was created and comes to the map in a natural way which can be seen in http://taghistory.raifer.tech/ (drinking_water is the opposite of waste water).
Where can we get the water? Most will think .. from the tap. In addition to the tap, we can get clear water from various types of fountains, springs, wells, as well as rivers, streams, lakes. However, most often from the tap (there are different types of taps) and well. Water can be used for people, animals, machinery, as an everyday spiritual tool in many religions(at home, work, travel) etc. The tagging method for acquiring the most important substance in the universe has not been determined! To describe the uptake of water from tape or well with or without pump we sometimes have many different tags! among others: amenity=drinking_water amenity=water_point amenity=water waterway=water_point amenity=watering_place natural=spring amenity=fountain man_made=water_tape man_made=water_well ect:.... The question of importing the tag amenity=water_point remains, where is the official international discussion on this tag and where is the import documentation? After a long introduction. After reading the wiki again, using overpass, taging info and especially personal experience water_tap water_well these are places from which water is collected and this difference should be visible on the map. amenity=drinking_water and amenity=water_point these are synonyms used interchangeably for drinking and non-drinking water waterway=water_point was created to obtain water for boats. amenity=water_point was probably created to indicate the place of acquiring water in caravanning, as well as for people traveling by car on the services, rest areas, gas stations, etc. I think that the man_made=water_tap and man_made=water_well should be used with the tags amenity=drinking_water and amenity=water_point also too. The problem is if the clear water is taken from the fountain amenity=fountain+amenity=drinking_water they are mutually exclusive. The question remains: what are the places offering water in large quantities, how to recognize them? That there would be no doubt about here https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Aire_de_Valuejols.JPG we have man_made=water_tape+amenity=drinking_water on the driver's resting place Best Regards Slavo
