Description
An aqueduct is a structure to convey water. This proposal deals with historic aqueducts. Unlike modern aqueducts they are still referred to as aqueducts even if there are only fragments left and they can't serve their original purpose.
Usage
The main tag to be used should be historic=aqueduct.
Other properties might be (if you know them, tag them):
- historic:civilization=* for the culture that originally constructed the aqueduct
- start_date=* for the time when the aqueduct started to work
- bridge=aqueduct for parts of an aqueduct that are bridges (note that not all aqueducts are bridgelike structures, and not for all their way).
- name=*
- ele=* if you know the elevation of distinct points of the aqueduct (level of the water / where once the water was) you can tag them like this
- ruins=yes
- wikipedia=*
In some cases you might want to add
Using relations
Aqueducts generally tend to be long. Nowadays many of them are not entirely preserved, but you will find fragments. It is suggested to use a relation (to be defined) to join all aqueduct parts that once were continuous into one object, even if now they don't form a continuity.
Alternatives
There was also a proposal to map acqueducts with bridge=*. The main disadvantage is, that aqueducts not always are bridge-like structures, there is also underground aqueducts and others like walls with the conveying tube above.
