[Imports] UPLOADING U-WIMP project data to osm

[Stellamaris Nakacwa]

Thank you, Frederik, for the feedback.
All tags have an acceptable osm_xml data file. I will make the corrections
to the doc too.

On one thing. In this entire dataset, the most important attribute is the
name: [deep_borehole, protected_spring, etc]. Our water infrastructures do
not have extra name tags besides those. Also according to the Key/Value
Pair of OSM in Uganda, this is exactly what we have and so what I used. Why
should this be rejected for upload?

Thank you!
