Haihole Dam is constructed across Kanee halla river near Haihole village about 12 Km from Shimoga city. Kane halla is a small tributary to Tunga River which originates in Shankaragudda hills and flows mostly in thick forest. This dam is located at longitude 75deg 28’ 45” E and Latitude 13deg 53’ 08” N in the limits of Haihole village in Shimoga taluk and district. This dam has been constructed during the period 1976-79 and is in operation since then The independent catchment area of the river at the dam site is 37.81 sqkm. The stream has its origin in a fairly heavy rainfall area with its entire catchment being in hilly and forest region and hence considered as Good for yield calculation. There are gauge stations situated near to the catchment area. However four influencing rain gauge station visa, (1) Malur (2) Aynur (3) Shimoga (4) Umblebylu have been considered for yield calculation. These polygons has been drawn on the basis of these four influencing rain gauge stations and the average rain falls have been calculated for these four rain gauge stations taking into consideration the rain fall of Ten years (1952 to 1963). The average rain fall works out to 98.55 cm with 70% dependability (year 1956) Considering the catchment area as Good for average annual rainfall of 98.55 cm the yield available at dam site is 13.52 cum (477.00 mcft.) apart from this perennially flowing two small streams across which the dam is constructed discharge about 0.11 to 0.14 Cumecs during the summer months due to the existence of some springs in the Shankaragudda hills also contribute to yield. There is good flow during the monsoon months and fair flow during November and December.

Does anyone on here know the history of families in the area? Where they lived? May still live? I have tracked my Caskey ancestors to this area and am seeking info on them. My great great grandfather was from this place and moved to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. His name was William Caskey. Cheers.
das ist der erste Test wies geht
dear diary i love <3 osm
The osm.org website currently has two “OSM-hosted” map styles on it - the “Standard” style (raster tiles) and a “Shortbread” one. The schema for “Shortbread” is here, and the display style shown is “Colorful” from Versatiles. It looks like this:
OpenStreetMap sleduji už mnoho let nejen jako užitečný nástroj, ale jako jedinečné společenství lidí, kteří dobrovolně budují mapu světa. Přitahuje mě otevřený, „wikipedický“ duch a pocit, že společně tvoříme něco, co má smysl a skutečně pomáhá. Poslední roky OSM vstupuje do období, které přináší nové výzvy i novou odpovědnost. Diskuze se už netočí jen kolem technických detailů. Diskutuje se, co vlastně znamená tvořit otevřená geodata v době velkých korporací a umělé inteligence.
Korporace jsou všude
Je zřejmé, že globální firmy jako Apple, Meta, Microsoft nebo navigátory TomTom mají o OSM velký zájem. Pochopily, že utvořit novou, vlastní mapu od nuly je prakticky nemožné a především drahé. Připojují tedy do projektu rozsáhlé mapovací týmy, využívají interní nástroje, importují vlastní datové sady. Tempo, s jakým dokážou doplňovat či aktualizovat data která je zajímají, je ohromující.
Přínosy jsou zjevné. Povrch světa je intenzívněji mapován. Zároveň ale soudím, že s tím roste i riziko, že se ztratí cit pro místní kontext a jemnost komunitního mapování. OSM dlouhodobě stojí na dobrovolnících, kteří mapují proto, že jim záleží na svém okolí. Tahle subkultura je křehká. A pokud má mít projekt budoucnost, neměla by být přehlušena privátním zájmem vydělat na odvozené službě.
AI v mapování
Umělá inteligence dokáže během pár minut odhalit mnoho nezmapovaných budov, nově vzniklé cesty, nebo změny v krajině. V oblastech třetího světa, které zůstávaly roky nemapované, to je obrovský skok kupředu.
A přesto u toho doporučuji i určitou opatrnost. AI má občas tendenci fungovat jako silný nástroj – užitečný, ale schopný způsobit nechtěné škody. Chybný import může vyvolat nepochopení proč se tak stalo, zahlcovat komunitu opravami a narušit důvěru v kvalitu dat. Rizikem je i to, že se z mapování vytratí lidský dotek a procesní zkušenost. Naučit se správně mapovat je cesta a AI by ji neměla novým mapovačům sebrat.

Heyho, das ist mein erster Blog auf OSM :)
Ich habe einen kleinen Tipp, wenn ihr mal Indoor Dinge mappt: Mit SCEE (Street Complete Expert Edition) kann man sich selber Overlays erstellen. Das habe ich vor allem genutzt, als ich ein Gebäude, das ich vorher schon mit Indoor Features gemappt habe, anschließend mit den richtigen Raumnamen versehen wollte.
Das hier ist mein Setup, das sogar anzeigt, wenn wo das level fehlt:
For the last 10 days I’ve been travelling in Europe to go to OSM events. I have some spare time before my flights to get home to Vancouver, so I’m posting a brief overview of the events and what got done.
My first event was the Karlsruhe hack weekend. This event is held twice a year and attracts lots of German and Swiss OSM developers. I started out by discovering that the jet lag is worse as I get older and I missed the pre-event social.
At the event itself I focused on the Shortbread Vector Tiles specification and osm2pgsql. In total three people from the Shortbread steering committee were at the event. The main Shortbread coding that’s been completed was a cleanup of the tables in the 1.0 spec. I think this is the last change we’ll see to 1.0 and all my Shortbread focus is now on 1.1.
I haven’t yet published the changes but support for multiple languages in the OSMF shortbread vector tiles is basically done. I just need to clean up some changes and add them to the WIP commit. Initially the language list is only en and de, but it’s ready to be added to.
I met with the two other maintainers of osm2pgsql and we discussed what’s necessary to tag releases of osm2pgsql-themepark. I think we’ve got a route forward there.
I spent the Monday after the hack weekend around town. The next morning I started for Nottingham via the Eurostar train. While I was in Nottingham I visited relatives and didn’t do anything OSM-related.
On the trip north to Dundee I got a cheap seat upgrade on the train to Edinburgh. This gave me three hours of focused time to work on my SOTM EU presentations.

I’ve been tagging my local area for the last 2 years, and where I live, there are areas which are small yet notable, often past plantations or well known locations usually with origins in colonialist’s estates. For example, Clement Hill was a plantation centered on the house called Mound Court, where Benjamin Clement and his descendants once did their business. As such, the location got called Clement Hill. Similar things happened with Viewmont, New Glasgow, Green Hill, etc. What has confused me though is how to tag these locations. Despite all being the same sort of thing, they all get treated differently, even between maps. Yet they are all single notable locations, either inhabited or not, centered around tracts of land where farms or plantation houses were or are present. There are multiple tags in OSM that cover similar ideas, such as: 1. a locality 2. an isolated settlement 3. a plot 4. a farm 5. a named house 6. a residential area 7. a historic location And as I said, maps treat them differently. Some maps treat them as residences while others highlight them like they do hamlets and towns. Sometimes the location is specified as the name of the plot while other times it’s referring to the general area instead. So how do you tag all these similar yet different locations? I’d like an unambiguous “plantation” or “estate” location tag which signifies that the location: 1. is or was a place where an estate was located. 2. is used like a general settlement name . 3. is between a farm, a plot, and a locality or isolated settlement as not all of these locations are exactly any of them. 4. but conveys the one idea of a significant plantation or similar settlement, either existent or no longer existent, that can be surrounded by smaller residences or be a lone estate, as these 2 scenarios are common in rural Virginia and are both considered the same sort of thing.
It’s been a while since I posted, and we’ve been working hard in the background to add more (and safe) OSM contributing. Since last we spoke, we’ve actually been in court, defending ourselves against a “competitor” (I wouldn’t consider us competitors, we’re in the same space but they’re for-pay and we’re Libre, Open Source, Open, and Free) who claimed we “stole” their data.
Funnily enough, “their” data seems to come straight from OSM. When I contributed an albergue a while back, I made a typo (è instead of é) and it’s in their dataset. So, yeah, we won, they paid, and they cried. Cheaters always accuse others of cheating.
We renamed ourselves from Camino Now to Ultreia.me, because another competitor didn’t like the fact that we had “Camino” in the name and sued as well.
There is a LOT of money to be made with those apps, which is why they all hate being threatened by a free/libre alternative.
Anyhow, we now sync hostel data back. Mainly telephone numbers, opening hours, wheelchair access, kitchen access, washer/dryer, those things.
