[HOT] Mapping Bassikounou, Mauritania - ICRC request

[Pierre Béland]

Hi Christian,

This is more or less man_made, like the ponds inside habitation walls. 

Went back to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:water. 

I propose that we follow the suggestion to use the tag combination
natural=water  

water=pond.

 
Pierre

Should we tag the ponds with "landuse=pond" or with "natural=water" and "water=pond"? For me it looks like the ponds are more natural than man_made... Or does anyone find some good guideline to distinguish man made ponds?

I cannot spot water wells. The pattern I see in this area is that there is often what seems to be a pond inside the walls of habitations.

                              inside Bassikounou and have mapped a few
                              of the flood_prone areas as an example.

                              were able to spot such wells by observing
                              odd looking "fans" around them in the
                              aerial imagery made by the cattles
                              circulation.
