[Imports] UN Mappers import of UNSOS waterways in Somalia

[Pierre Béland]

It could also be intermittent=yes.
I am quite satisfied with this import project and the wiki.  It confirms were the waterways are fTooding. And it is easy with josm to realign if necessary.
And I dont buy the interpretation that these intermittent waterways should not be traced because of climate change. We could argument that climate change exacerbates succession dry periods and violent floodings. And we did observe that everywhere in the recent years. These waterways are an important characteristic to add to the map. Populated places are often at proximity and these waterways are both used for communications in dry periods and for their water ressource. This is also an important information to anticipate where major floodings will have an impact.

 Hi Martin,
Thanks for your ideas. Meanwhile I was searching a bit and found the tag flood_prone=yes in the highway-wiki for Africa https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa.
@Rafael: that would be a could choice for an highway inside a riverbed. What do you think?

Hi Martin,

Any suggestions how to map a highway inside a riverbed? It should indicate somehow that the highway may be flooded by water occasionally.

Thanks for your remark.

Regards

Arne

- for highways inside a riverbed I did the same



[ford=yes]


Good.



the wiki states a ford is for crossing a waterway, and this is what I would expect as well. A highway running inside a (dry or semi-dry) riverbed rather than crossing it, is not a ford.

Cheers Martin
