Hello Portugal OSM community,
Today I am sharing another MapRoulette challenge consisting of 277 tasks (Portugal - Update deprecated landuse=reservoir tags - Braga : MapRoulette) for updating deprecated or missed tags, to achieve OpenStreetMap data to be more consistent and easier to work with for OSM users.
This challenge helps you update the deprecated tag landuse=reservoir on water reservoirs in Portugal. The OSM wiki recommends that this tag be replaced with the tag combination natural=water + water=reservoir. You will find detailed guidelines for how to do this in the left-hand instruction panel of each task.
While editing the water bodies in this challenge, you may further improve them by correcting their outline if needed, or remove them if they no longer exist.
How was this challenge created?
We at TomTom used an Overpass turbo query to find features with a landuse=reservoir tag. Each task in this challenge points to the location of one such feature.
Feel free to contact me by replying to this post/email or by leaving a comment on the Portugal GitHub page (Portugal | Data Improvements · Issue #163 · tomtom-international/open-data · GitHub) or the MapRoulette challenge task itself.
Wishing you a great day and enjoyable editing!
Salim
