Offene Quelle

Offene Quelle ("open source" and "open spring") is developing a low-cost, open-hardware drinking fountain that mounts on standard fire hydrants. It can serve as a pop-up fountain during heatwaves and events, or as a permanent installation.

This site documents the potential analysis and the map behind it: how data layers are defined from OpenStreetMap, what each layer contains, and which rules and assumptions shape the result.

Open the map Layers

Prototype

The layers use public OpenStreetMap data only. All classification rules are working assumptions that haven't yet been checked with the water utility, fire brigade or authorities. Each layer's page lists its rules and assumptions.

Contents

Page What it covers
Layers Every exported layer: attributes, rules, assumptions, sources (generated from the data directory)
Architecture openwater, the layer format, the viewer and the data directory: who owns what
Writing layers How to define and export a layer in a small Python script
Layer format The interface: what a layer package contains (layer.json, data.geojson)
Viewer Picking and styling layers in Settings, style format, edit access
Data sources Catalogue of official and open sources for Kiel / Schleswig-Holstein, with licenses
Potential analysis Method: M1 hydrant locations, M2 regulation, M3 water quality, M4 demand and gap, M5 scoring
ML feasibility Can machine learning add missing hydrants and siting attributes?
Deployment Running everything locally, services and data directory
Production deployment Public server behind a reverse proxy: setup, checks, updates, backups
