The thing with this tag is that it doesn't encapsulate the historic,
architectonic and cultural meaning of the place. It's difficult to
tag a village central fountain, with it's structure, colours, design
etc. and just tag them with drinking_water.<br>
This creates a lot of ambiguity in Portugal, since these features
are way more important than those found with lights and statues in
roundabouts and alike, due to their historic importance. We even
call them literally "fountains". Tagging them with just
amenity=drinking_water doesn't make them justice. Like I said, maybe
this could be solved with the key fountain=*, I don't know.<br>
Nevertheless, this raises another question: what's the criteria to
consider that the water is drinkable? An official mention on the
fountain or just knowing that people drink the water?<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">The first is designed like a Roman or Medieval drinking fountain, so
amenity=drinking_water is appropriate. The second example does not
have water running in the picture, but if it can be used (perhaps
there is a handle which turns on the water?), the same tag would work.
I would generally use amenity=fountain for decorative water features
which are not designed for drinking.

there.<br>
<br>
In Portugal and most Mediterranean countries, there are
literally<br>
thousands of fountains that are not decorative like those
examples at<br>
the bottom of the wiki page:<br>

I'm talking about fountains that exist in every small
village or even at<br>
the side of the road, like these:<br>

<br>
What's the best way of tagging these fountains? They're
not decorative,<br>
they're utilitarian architectonic structures made to
deliver drinking water.<br>
amenity=fountain doesn't seem to fit here, neither
amenity=drinking_water.<br>
I know that we can use fountain=* in both tags, but which
one?<br>
<br>
Regards.<br>
