When it should be, as a suggestion,  drinking_water:type=bubbler, or 
drinking_water:type=bottle_refill.

these tags are misleading, you are not describing drinking water, hence it is 
not a suitable approach IMHO.
amenity=drinking_water is not only used for fountains, some may be springs or 
water taps, it is a very generic tag which has the essential information for 
thirsty people, the fountain key can be added to some of them to further 
specify the feature. If you don’t like it, don’t use it.


Another issue.. tagging non drinking water ... may have the same physical properties as a drinking water feature other than the quality of the water...


So .. ???

amenity=water - as the main tag - exists but marked as depreciated... says 'here is water'. This is more generic than amenity=drinking_water.

secondary tags

drinking_water=yes/no/* .. already exists

drinking_water:legal=yes/no already exists


I think the above should depreciate amenity=drinking_water as it is more generic.



Then the question of delivery ???

water_direction=up/down/horizontal/upwards ?

something for the application - for dogs/cats/horses/humans/hose/bottle_refill/*

water:for=dog/cats/animals/humans/hose/trough/* Each would need a precise description...


The question of the physical structure used to deliver the water


couplings:type=plain/threaded/storz/camlock/* exists for fire hydrants .. but needs some added values.

couplings:diameters=* exists ... though I think the inner diameters should be used as what is seen.


Tap if it exists?

tap=yes/no

Some may want to tag the tap actuator?

tap:actuator=leaver/handle/light_beam/*

Some may want to tag the structural style of the thing

structure:style=nasone/*


-------------------------------

Rendering?


If direction upwards and water:for=humans then render as for bubbler - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Drinking_Fountain_-_The_Noun_Project.svg/278px-Drinking_Fountain_-_The_Noun_Project.svg.png else;

If tap=yes. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/France_road_sign_ID29.svg/337px-France_road_sign_ID29.svg.png else;

as a water drop, singular.


colour blue if drinkable

colour brown if not drinkable.


Add tap if tap=yes. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/France_road_sign_ID29.svg/337px-France_road_sign_ID29.svg.png
