[OSGeo-Discuss] Open "StreamMap"?

[Ari Jolma]

Charlie,

There are existing global databases of surface water boundaries, water 
quality, DEMs, etc. In some cases more than one. Those could be one 
starting point - license permitting. The other would of course be OSM 
itself, which already contains surface water features. Adding a 
possibility for all to add data like temperature, water level, water 
quality etc. would be interesting. I've seen such attempts, as far as I 
remember they have used Google maps or Bing maps. In fact, Microsoft may 
have been more active in this particular area.
