Hi,

I'm running the query:

[out:json];

(way["natural"~"water"] (around:5100.0, 51.508341, -0.125499); ); out meta;
>; out skel qt;

To get all the water in Central London, or thereabouts; however, I'm not seeing any Serpentine Lake and I assume it's something to do with it being a multi-polygon.

Can anyone please assist?

TIA,

Alex

Hi.

You just have to look also for relations.

Like this for example :

[out:json];
nwr["natural"~"water"] (around:5100.0, 51.508341, -0.125499); 
out meta;
>; out skel qt;

It much slower, but should be complete.

Regards.

Ahh, this is so good.

What's the 'nwr' doing in contrast to my original query?

Thank you so much!

nwr combines the node way and rel keywords. So it also fetch the relations matching the keyword.

You can use the clause relation["type"="multipolygon"]["natural"="water"]* to query multipolygons specifically. (I will let someone else supplement on its performance). Don't forget nodes, as some water features may only be mapped in that format.
