That is not how the tag is used. water=reservoir is primarily used for dammed rivers. landuse=basin is mostly used for water areas created artificially where there was no pre-existing waterbody. If in your area these are mostly temporarily water filled that is due to climate and not a universal characteristic. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
