[Talk-in] Map your waste

[Yogesh योगि]

Its rainy season now in Bengaluru and we see clogs in sewage manholes in 
most of the roads in the city when it rains heavily. Volunteers of Free 
Software Movement Karnataka(FSMK) <http://fsmk.org/> are organizing 'Map 
your waste' mapping event using OpenStreetMap and requesting the OSM 
community to join this mapping event. The idea is to survey the area in 
the vicinity/neighborhood for sewage manholes, sewage lines and public 
toilets using Fieldpapers 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Field_Papers> and OSMtracker 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSMtracker>/Keypad-Mapper_3 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Keypad-Mapper_3>/Mapillary 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapillary> in GPS-enabled android 
device. And then comeback to add the data to OSM using id 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Id>/JOSM 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM> editor. For adding the data, 
we'll be using manhole=sewer 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:manhole> tag and 
manmade=pipeline with type=sewage 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dpipeline> tags to 
add sewage lines. Any suggestions on using tags are welcome.

Currently there are no manhole 
<http://taginfo.openstreetmap.in/keys/manhole#overview> or sewage 
<http://taginfo.openstreetmap.in/tags/man_made=pipeline#combinations> 
objects mapped in India OSM(different tags used?) and looks like a 
unique mapping effort. :)
