[Imports] UPLOADING U-WIMP project data to osm

[Stellamaris Nakacwa]

Hi Phil,
This is part of the dataset that we used. I am highlighting that the
significant tag of the dataset is *amenity = water_point. H*owever, for
completeness, attributes including the *name of the water point* are
essential  You may be able to see that white your skill through the
overpass query you have shared.

Does that make sense?
