Hello, As part of the long term typhoon Haiyan recovery efforts in Leyte the Red Cross has plans to map water access points (and also possibly other water distribution infrastructure) in a few areas. The initial purpose is for better planning of water and sanitation projects. Another goal being to have the area better mapped for future disaster resilience and response.
I was wondering if people were aware of good tagging conventions used elsewhere in the Philippines. The wiki page for Philippines mapping conventions didn't seem to have anything. I was thinking... ## For access points: + amenity=water (all access points) + amenity=drinking_water (an additional amenity tag for points considered potable) + man_made:water_well, pump=yes, pump:type=hand (for wells with a hand pump) + natural=spring (if water is actively flowing naturally from the ground at the point) + access=yes (for public access) + I'm not sure about how to tag a public gripo/faucet/spigot connected to a pipe network? ## For source points: + man_made=water_works (for the source of water being distributed through a pipe network) + man_made=reservoir_covered, type=water (for covered water reservoir) ## For pipe network: + man_made=pipeline, substance=water + location=underground/overground (for buried pipes or pipes visible along the ground) + Is it important to include diameter=* (diameter in millimeters) so that there is no confusion between the small water pipes being mapped and the larger pipes more commonly mapped with this tag? + Is there a key that could be used with values metal/pvc to give the material the pipe is made from? Comments and advice welcome. Salamat. Dan Joseph GIS Analyst International Services, American Red Cross
