That makes a lot more sense than ALSO adding natural=water to the water area. If the area of water is covered we have man_made=reservoir_covered and no 'water' element. water treatment plant tagging is similarly erratic with waste having an assortment of tags and clean water not. water=reservoir may well part of a clean water supply and treatment site. The problem is not that water has failed to gain traction, but rather that the whole area is still a mess that can not easily be defined. Nothing actually flows well? Adding ... landuse=wastewater_treatment or landuse=water_supply wrapping man_made=reservoir man_made=reservoir_covered But then we have currently landuse=basin and landuse=pond so dropping the natural=water and rendering all water= as blue then the use of water on it's own does make more sense? JUST use water=reservoir water=basin water=pond man_made=reservoir_covered -> because water is not visible so may be landcover=grass over the top? But where there is navigation passing through the reservoir waterway=lock and waterway=canal makes the water version of those obsolete? There is no way 'water' will replace any of the waterway data structure given all of the secondary tagging to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Driver and the like. But where lakes - natural and man-made - have navigation routes through many of the waterway tags also apply but this has been another area of discussion to map the actual routes across the water areas. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
