Hi,
recently someone mapped a lot of fountains here, so tried to find out
how they should be tagged. But I failed.
I found both natural=water or landuse=basin to be in use for those
features, but both have their flaws.
natural=water

Those pools are a part of the fountain, so I would tag the whole area as a
fountain. The part where the water comes out, and the pool are one entity,
one doesn't have any use without the other.

If this pool of water has the main purpose of feeding the fountain I would
consider this to be a landuse=reservoir for the following reasons:
* Its wiki description fits: "Man made body of stored water. May be covered
or uncovered.")
* It has a well defined, used and even rendered subtag of reservo
