landuse=basin seems inappropriate for many wastewater  treatment plants.
It may be appropriate for plants which use constructed wetlands, but the
plants
that have aerators, clarifiers, digesters, etc. don't have anything that
could be
called a basin but do have large, mappable objects (the circular profiles
are
a good clue from aerlial imagery that a wastewater plant is there).  See

There are also farm slurry pits, which handle animal faeces but do not
attempt to purify water.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slurry_pit

I'm not entirely happy with natural=water being applied to either sewage
treatment or slurry.  Neither are natural and neither store water.
