Add icons for water infrastructure in developing countries #853

Closed matthijsmelissen closed 10 years ago

matthijsmelissen commented 10 years ago

A user on trac is doing some mapping for villages in developing countries (Papua New Guinea) and would like some icons for water infrastructure that they have not been able to find. Examples are; water well (which is usually a large diameter cylindrical hole), tubewell (also called a borehole, which is a small diameter vertical hole lined with a pipe), hand pump, powered pump (could be electric, diesel, solar), spring, rainwater tank, tap stand.

I don't think this is practical for the general map. The HOT style would be better suited for this. I would close.

Some of these features are rendered (for example spring), some may be rendered but I will close this ticket as implementing entire thing is not practical for the general map.

Also, such proposal should at least include how these objects are tagged.

It would be better to propose rendering for some these object (if any) as a separate tickets.
