Re: [Tagging] water=pool

You might use waterway as the main tag to prevent confusion with the top-level tag of water=* Either waterway=pool (TagInfo: 26 uses), or waterway=stream_pool, would be better than water=stream_pool. I still think it better to avoid using the word stream in the value because then a pool on a

Re: [Tagging] water=pool

Thanks for all the input. There are mixed viewpoints, but I'm leaning towards using and documenting on the wiki water=stream_pool as "A small and usually deep collection of fresh water, supplied by a spring, or occurring along a stream or river. Water velocity in the pool is typically much lower

Re: [Tagging] water=pool

At least in American English, there is an intermediate term, pond, for a body of water smaller than a lake but larger than a mere wide spot in a stream. Ponds can be man-made or natural. On March 13, 2017 4:19:47 AM Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: 2017-03-13 10:13

water=pool looks like a good suggestion and better candidate for deafult water tag too. Regards, Kelvin On Mon, Mar 13, 2017 at 12:35 AM, ael wrote: > On Sun, Mar 12, 2017 at 04:35:54PM +0100, althio wrote: > > I think just "water=pool" is a bit short and potentially

Re: [Tagging] water=pool

I think just "water=pool" is a bit short and potentially misleading with other types of pools (reflecting pool, swimming pool, salt pool, ...). If you don't need a new tag, I would go for natural=water water=lake (and let the size and position of the feature show that it is a small body of water

Re: [Tagging] water=pool

Hi Andrew, in my opinion, this combination is describing it best : natural=water water=pond in case it's man_made , it should be tagged like this. (the person who wrote "man-made in most cases" possibly talks about the central park ;-) )

[Tagging] water=pool

I'm looking for a tag for "A small and rather deep collection of (usually) fresh water, as one supplied by a spring, or occurring in the course of a stream;" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pool#English also like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_pool. They come in all shapes and sizes but are
