Hi,
I find myself wondering if there is a possibility of starting an "open
stream map" project in a similar way to open street map? With the idea
that this might be connected to an invasive plant species effort too...
It is an interesting idea -- roads are relatively stable. Streams have
additional attributes, like water levels.
Any reactions or ideas on how this might be started?
You might start with DEMs and analyze them for V like paths that
represent drainage in the terrain. This would give you a starting place.
Then I suppose you could recruit people that like to hike to collect GPS
tracks along rivers, streams, ponds and lakes and enter that into a OSM
server designed to work with hydrology models.
