Water and Sanitation tags
| currently in Kibera | other applicable/existing tags | notes |
|---|---|---|
watsan:bathroom=yes | amenity=toilets | This is an actual bath ... these are often offered as public services in Kibera, often with a toilet as well. amenity=toilet is not entirely correct |
watsan:dumping_site=yes | amenity=waste_disposal | This is an waste disposal site, without proper formal structure. |
watsan:pee_point=yes | amenity=toilets | This is not a formal toilet, but a place very commonly used for peeing |
watsan:recycling=yes | amenity=recycling | |
watsan:toilet_private=yes | amenity=toilets | What about using access=private or relying on operator:type=private rather than splitting these into toilet_private/toilet_public? yes, that change makes sense |
watsan:toilet_public=yes | amenity=toilets | |
watsan:biocentre=yes | amenity=toilets | http://www.umande.org/bio_centers.html has more info on biocentres. decomposes waste to create cooking gas. |
watsan:urban_agriculture=yes | leisure=garden | yes |
watsan:water_private=yes | amenity=drinking_water man_made=water_tower landuse=reservoir natural=water | amenity=drinking_water assumes water is drinkable--is this valid?
landuse=reservoir implies a large, polygonal reservoir, which seems unlikely natural=water implies a spring or lake, which seems unlikely |
watsan:water_public=yes | amenity=drinking_water | Around half of the features with this tag also include operator:type=private. it means the water is publicly accessible, but for sale by a private operator |

Notes
Is there a difference between a "water point", "water tank", and "water tap"? If so, should we tag these differently? Right now the only consistent difference seems to be in name.
-- A water tank is a reservoir, usually a large above ground container; and a water tap is a spigot connected to a line. Water point, could be either.
A few nodes with watsan:other=yes mention being start/end points of terraces. Not sure what to do with these, if anything.
