Hi everyone, I am currently working and living in rural Perú, and quite busy mapping the area as well. Towns here often feature open sewage channels in the middle of residential roads. I haven't found how to map this. It seems to be an important feature to me, last but not least because there is a chance of overflowing in case of heavy rain... Any ideas? Cheers! edit: I am considering waterway=ditch now It looks roughly like this: __ One-directional "lane" for all sorts of traffic (peds, cars, bikes, chicken..) asked 17 Jul '16, 20:26  rabon edited 17 Jul '16, 20:35 |
One Answer:
Hi rabon, use waterway=drain for the smallest and lined waterway being a neither canal nor river. Use natural=water and water=sewage as well to make clear that the water is not clear. The ditches you’re mentioned are not lined as I expect the sewage drains are. Otherwise the streets should or could be wasted by the next water flow. answered 17 Jul '16, 22:17  Hendrikklaas |
Makes sense, thank you!
