This tag indicates places where animals can drink water, like the analogous tag amenity=drinking_water describes places for human drinking.
There are two categories of places this tag applies to:
Natural bodies of water
- Water quality suitable for animals, so usually all flowing water that is not obviously polluted. It does not indicate a guaranteed water quality.
- Water is accessible for animals, e.g. low banks without steep incline or other obstacles, or a shallow water area where animals may wade in to drink.
Artificial water supplies
- fountains that also allow access to animals
- dedicated watering places like troughs, often found in the countryside for farm use or as decorations
- rain barrels and similar containers
Tags to use in combination
Use name=* if the watering place has a name
