I propose two extensions for tagging waterway=drain
ways.
-
Specific tags for how surface-visible drains are covered -
covered=metal_grating
covered=slabs
covered=no
(open drains)
-
blocked=yes
orblocked_since=
for blocked drains. In poorer areas of India (and presumably other countries), garbage may block drains for weeks, months, or even years. Sewage from such drains often pools into streets, resulting in increased cases of mosquito-borne diseases. This is certain to be valuable data for civic bodies.
