New quest: Is water drinkable? (drinking_water) #549
Comments
Okay, problem: I just read through the wiki and the legal situation seems to be complex and it does not seem to be easy in every cases to decide whether it is drinkable or not… So closing… |
@Binnette Just convince me that it is possible… |
(And don't say: Just drink it and you'll see whether it works. 😆 ) |
So let's implement it with a "choose one" quest.
|
The sign thing is clear, but what if there is no sign. Do you think it is easy to decide whether water is drinkable? |
Yes it is. In city, there is no sign but water is drinkable: https://goo.gl/K2hp3W |
To get your answer possibilities into a new UI:
4 is the maximum when only using text, but it could still be difficult to get it into that width. |
It often happens in or near restaurants, bars, mountain huts... that they declare the water as non-drinkable, fueled by motivation of:
How to cover such situations? |
drinking_water:legal = no; not set |
Just to leave my two cents to what @stefanb said: OpenStreetMap's aim is to model the reality (to a degree) - so if there's a sign saying "No Drinking Water", this is the reality the fountain lives in and that's what needs to go into OSM. If there are more sinister reasons behind this (those you mentioned), these are just not to be seen with the naked eye ("from outside") and thus cannot be determined. Where inspecting the fountain of the presence of a sign is the easiest task you can ask the SC user for. This quest could be easily implemented with the radio button list as there are many of those nowadays. |
@kmpoppe, what if OSM surveyor determines contrary to what is written. Either with an elaborate water testing equipment or just applying local knowledge? |
But I agree this is more of a general tagging problem, not specific to a specific tagging tool, StreetComplete in this case. |
@stefanb There could be a "Sign is wrong" item in the "other answers" menu which lets users create a note instead. Then |
drinking_water seems to be promising for a quest.
It should be asked for the things mentioned here, maybe only exclude toilets (they are too common?) and some other tags, where it is not alwayss clear that there is water at all (i.e. rest_area/camp_site).
