Example of a small water reservoir

Proposal

to create a new tag, waterway=reservoir and deprecate landuse=reservoir
a reservoir is an artificial body of water, created for storing water

rationale

landuse is a very odd choice for a body of water.
there is a top-level tag for water bodies, let's populate it with water-related items, for consistency, and keep landuse for mixed property areas.

Tagging

The new value may be used on nodes or areas. The proposed tag is:

<tag k="waterway" v="reservoir"/>
<tag k="name" v="name of the reservoir>"/> (optional)
<tag k="operator" v="name of the operator of the reservoir>"/> (optional)

Proposed Rendering

a blue area
