Recently, I applied for the mentorship program and after about 2 weeks of the starting date, I am part of a group that I see as a community of practice to share our common knowledge and improve the OSM Community.

For this program that goes until october 2023, I’m proposing to create a Guideline document to map water areas (amphibious cultures home), water bodies and flood zones as swamps, based on the use case of the Sinú River Low Basin in Córdoba Department, Caribbean region of Colombia.

I hope this Guidelines could help us to improve the mapping task instructions for this area.

One of my first activities was to create an organized activities wiki entry for this project:

• https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities

We have a Wiki project page also:

• https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Colombia/Project-Cienaga-Grande-Bajo-Sinu

And now, we promoted the communities discussion of our project:

• https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/complejo-cenagoso-del-bajo-sinu-caso-de-uso-para-crear-una-guia-de-mapeo-de-humedales/98396/2

This is the Umap area representation:

Finally, of course, we have a Mapping task. I invite you to join the discussion and map with us. If you want to know more about this project go to https://agua.redhumus.org
