Hello List,
in the UAE/Emirates Hills area, particular around 'The Springs' there are a
number or lakes. All lakes are artificial.
Image example here: https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/bjCPLyUtXUhDAvOPqQWeUw
Reading through Key:water in the OpenStreetMap Wiki I wonder if these
should be tagged as pond.
natural=water
water=pond
The description in the wiki states: "A pond: a body of standing water,
man-made in most cases, that is usually smaller than a lake."
What does that mean? What is a typical size of a lake and is a large
artificial 'lake' then no pond?
The body of water I have linked to in Mapillary is a lake of medium size in
this area. There are smaller and larger ones. All are artificial.
What are your thoughts?
Cheers,
Seb
