Re: [Tagging] The saga of landuse=reservoir vs water=reservoir

Using terms such as "on a rampage" and "gods know where else he is buldozzing" is inappropriate and does not contribute to this discussion. Such rhetoric will not convince other mappers to use a certain tagging method. This language does not promote an open and welcoming community. It does not

In an Australian context, the most common are known as Turkey's Nest dams, because they're mounded up above the ground eg https://c8.alamy.com/comp/A6T7R0/turkey-nest-dam-on-outback-cattle-station-queensland-australia-A6T7R0.jpg For a full explanation:

Re: [Tagging] The saga of landuse=reservoir vs water=reservoir

That Wikipedia page is right. The artificial grading mostly involves creating an (earthen) dam wall (which is often also mapped), and the purpose is generally retention of water rather than infiltration or detention, which is why the distinction between reservoir and basin isn't clear cut to me.

Re: [Tagging] The saga of landuse=reservoir vs water=reservoir

What is a farm dam in this context? We don't have that term in American English. Is this perhaps an example of landuse=basin (or if you prefer water=basin) with basin=detention or basin=infiltration? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dbasin

Re: [Tagging] The saga of landuse=reservoir vs water=reservoir

This discussion has convinced me not to use landuse=reservoir. It sounds like the only benefit is its historical use, whereas I've personally seen benefits of the natural=water approach. I've mapped quite a number of farm dams as natural=water without being sure what subtag to use. I now think

The statistics reflect all areas, regardless of which editors were used to create them. I stand by them, as numbers do not lie. There was a 3:1 preference for water=reservoir during 2017 and 2018, two years prior to the change in iD preset. The data is open, and taginfo provides a very helpful
