Another issue.. tagging non drinking water ... may have the same 
physical properties as a drinking water feature other than the quality 
of the water...


So .. ???

amenity=water - as the main tag - exists but marked as depreciated... 
says 'here is water'. This is more generic than amenity=drinking_water.

secondary tags

drinking_water=yes/no/* .. already exists

drinking_water:legal=yes/no already exists


I think the above should depreciate amenity=drinking_water as it is more 
generic.



Then the question of delivery ???

water_direction=up/down/horizontal/upwards ?

something for the application - for 
dogs/cats/horses/humans/hose/bottle_refill/*

water:for=dog/cats/animals/humans/hose/trough/* Each would need a 
precise description...


The question of the physical structure used to deliver the water


couplings:type=plain/threaded/storz/camlock/* exists for fire hydrants 
.. but needs some added values.

couplings:diameters=* exists ... though I think the inner diameters 
should be used as what is seen.


Tap if it exists?

tap=yes/no

Some may want to tag the tap actuator?

tap:actuator=leaver/handle/light_beam/*

Some may want to tag the structural style of the thing

structure:style=nasone/*


-------------------------------

Rendering?


If direction upwards and water:for=humans then render as for bubbler -

else;

If tap=yes.

as a water drop, singular.


colour blue if drinkable

colour brown if not drinkable.


Add tap if tap=yes.
