A 
watermill is a mill driven by water power. It has a waterwheel or turbine which is used to drive a mechanical process such as milling, grinding, rolling, or hammering.
- For hydroelectricity facilities, see power=generator + generator:source=hydro instead.
How to map
Add a node 
at the centre of the watermill or draw an area 
and add the tag man_made=watermill.
You can also add a name=*.
Tags used in combination
- Lifecycle concerns:
- disused:watermill=yes - Mill equipment is out of service, but the mill is still intact. The building might also be used for other purposes, for example, living, cafe, exhibition
- abandoned:man_made=watermill - submitted by the owner and no longer serviced
- ruins=yes - if it is a ruin. In this case consider using abandoned:man_made=watermill instead of man_made=watermill.
- tourism=attraction - if the mill is operated as a tourist attraction
- start_date=* - when the mill was built
- wikipedia=* - Reference to the Wikipedia article about this specific watermill
- Addresses and contact tags.
If a cafe is in the same building add another point and the corresponding properties. (See one feature, one OSM element.)
