id="Proposal">Proposal</span></h2> <p>This proposal is the result of <a class="external text" href="https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/properly-mapping-dry-washes/108437">an extensive discussion about mapping wadis in the OSM Community Forum</a>. </p><p>This proposal suggests that the area between the banks of a wadi should be mapped as <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tag:natural%3Dwadi&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Tag:natural=wadi (page does not exist)"><bdi>wadi</bdi></a></tt> in order to consolidate several ad hoc and inaccurate tagging schemes for these features. </p><p>This proposal <i><b>does not</b></i> suggest any changes to the mapping of linear water courses through wadis. These should continue to be mapped as <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:waterway" title="Key:waterway">waterway</a></bdi>=*</tt> + <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:intermittent" title="Key:intermittent">intermittent</a></bdi>=*</tt> as appropriate following established practice. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Definition">Definition</span></h2> <p>A wadi, also known regionally in the U.S. as a dry wash or arroyo, is a normally dry watercourse in an arid or desert region. Wadis have distinct banks formed by erosion, beds of loose rock typically composed of the same cobble, gravel, and sand as the surrounding terrain (or decomposed from surrounding bedrock). Many wadis only have flowing water during relatively rare flash floods but some wadis have ephemeral water flow following seasonal storms. Water flow in wadis may be sheet flow across a broad surface or channelized into streams that shift with each successive flood. Under normal conditions, there is no surface water in a wadi. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Rationale">Rationale</span></h2> <p>Wadis are common and notable features in arid environments and are often represented on official maps and in government data sets. Historically, mappers have attempted to map wadis in OSM by adapting established tags to these landforms. However, these attempts misuse the existing tags while failing to capture the nature of the landform. </p> <ul><li><tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dwater" title="Tag:natural=water"><bdi>water</bdi></a></tt> - This is obviously wrong because wadis are dry. This is often the result of previous imports. E.g., <a class="external text" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/47356327/history/2">Way: 47356327</a></li></ul> <ul><li><tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dwater" title="Tag:natural=water"><bdi>water</bdi></a></tt> + <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:water" title="Key:water">water</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:water%3Driver" title="Tag:water=river"><bdi>river</bdi></a></tt> + <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:intermittent" title="Key:intermittent">intermittent</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:intermittent%3Dyes" class="mw-redirect" title="Tag:intermittent=yes"><bdi>yes</bdi></a></tt> - An attempt to fit the established OSM tags to a wadi, but it makes something that is normally dry look like it is normally wet, and it fails to capture the fact that there may be many years between floods in a wadi. E.g., <a class="external text" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/46227123/history/2">Way: 46227123</a> or <a class="external text" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1100576638/history/3">Way: 1100576638</a></li></ul> <ul><li><tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dwater" title="Tag:natural=water"><bdi>water</bdi></a></tt> + <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:intermittent" title="Key:intermittent">intermittent</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:intermittent%3Dyes" class="mw-redirect" title="Tag:intermittent=yes"><bdi>yes</bdi></a></tt> - Same as above. Note that a <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dshoal" title="Tag:natural=shoal"><bdi>shoal</bdi></a></tt> feature may be underwater part of the time, but the tag distinguishes it from “water.” E.g., <a class="external text" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/47356794/history/4">Way: 47356794</a></li></ul> <ul><li><tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dsand" title="Tag:natural=sand"><bdi>sand</bdi></a></tt> - Contrary to popular portrayals, most deserts are rocky or stony, not sandy. Wadis reflect the local geology and sediments, and so are commonly filled with pebble, gravel, or cobble sized rocks. E.g., <a class="external text" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/47425436/history/3">Way: 47425436</a></li></ul> <ul><li><tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dshingle" title="Tag:natural=shingle"><bdi>shingle</bdi></a></tt> - “Shingle” is specifically rock that has been rounded by the motion of water. Wadis don’t have enough water to smooth out their rocks, so this is incorrect. E.g., <a class="external text" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/47356799/history/3">Way: 47356799</a></li></ul> <ul><li><tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dscree" title="Tag:natural=scree"><bdi>scree</bdi></a></tt> - “Scree” is specifically the broken rock that accumulates at the base of a cliff or other rock face. This is not a wadi. E.g., <a class="external free" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/47425055/history/2">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/47425055/history/2</a> Way: 47425055]</li></ul> <ul><li><tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dwetland" title="Tag:natural=wetland"><bdi>wetland</bdi></a></tt> - A possible misunderstanding of the feature or tagging for the renderer. E.g., <a class="external text" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/47356584/history/2">Way: 47356584</a></li></ul> <ul><li><tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dheath" title="Tag:natural=heath"><bdi>heath</bdi></a></tt> or <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dscrub" title="Tag:natural=scrub"><bdi>scrub</bdi></a></tt> - This may represent the plant community in the wadi, but it would typically fail to distinguish the wadi from surrounding terrain where the same tags would also be suitable. E.g., <a class="external text" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/203405151/history/3">Way: 203405151</a></li></ul> <p>In the <a class="external text" href="https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/properly-mapping-dry-washes/108437">discussion in the OSM Community Forum</a>, several people expressed the opinion that using <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dwater" title="Tag:natural=water"><bdi>water</bdi></a></tt> with a secondary tag that means "no water" would be a classic case of a <a href="/wiki/Trolltag" title="Trolltag">Trolltag</a>. </p><p>In addition to being inaccurate, the <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dsand" title="Tag:natural=sand"><bdi>sand</bdi></a></tt>, <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dscree" title="Tag:natural=scree"><bdi>scree</bdi></a></tt>, and <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dshingle" title="Tag:natural=shingle"><bdi>shingle</bdi></a></tt> tags are intended to be used for areas devoid of vegetation. In contrast, some wadis have more and larger plants than the surrounding terrain. </p><p>This proposal suggests <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:natural" title="Key:natural">natural</a></bdi>=<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tag:natural%3Dwadi&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Tag:natural=wadi (page does not exist)"><bdi>wadi</bdi></a></tt> as the tag for the area of wadi. </p><p>The terms "wash," "dry wash," and "arroyo" used regionally in the U.S. to describe these features were rejected in the <a class="external text" href="https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/properly-mapping-dry-washes/108437">OSM Community Forum discussion</a> because these terms have different and sometimes contradictory meanings outside the regions where they are commonly used.
