Hi all I'm ashamed to not have enough time to be involved in all discussions regarding reservoir, ponds, basins and so on... and thank you to make such a capital topic on the table I'd be happy with a tagging that separates the structure, the water body and purpose of a given feature.
Have a look to Storage chapter in this page (probably lacks many thing, it's just a start) https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Water_management There are at least 5 ways to tag features involved in (potable) water storage What if I'm only interested to find "water storage places" with their volume, elevation and sometimes particular usage? Waste water retention basins are a supplementary situation like we could find dozens of them. Where will this end? All discussed features share the "water body" concept (or more generic fluid-body with substance=water) inside very different structures with even different purposes. Why don't we look to describe a generic water body, with a volume, elevation and usage prior to list every single feature that stores/retain water? This said, it's fine to have many different tags to describe very different structures (building=*, man_made=*, natural=*...) As such structures tagging should be separated from the water body they contain, an uniformed semantic for water bodies would make OSM a yet cooler place than it already is All the best François Le jeu. 17 déc. 2020 à 18:46, Brian M.
