Was the depression, where the water is, formed by man? If so then it
could be tagged as a basin ..

Reservoirs are not only for irrigation, many around me are there to
supply water for human consumption.
So I don't think the use of the water is relevant to defining a reservoir.

Hi,
With artificial I meant it is a hole with a plastic foil. Everything
except sand is artificial and needs to be maintainer in this region.
I have been contemplating if these lakes are also used as a reservoir
for irrigation myself. However I can't confirm or deny this.
I'll keep the lake tags then, no pond.
PS: I hope my response to the digest gets filed properly.

The description in the (OSM) wiki states: "A pond: a body of
standing water, man-made in most cases, that is usually
smaller than a lake."
This definition is different from the Wikipedia definition:
" A *pond* is a body <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_of_water>
of standing water
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_stagnation>, either natural
or artificial, that is usually smaller than a lake
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake> "
What are your thoughts?
Our wiki is misleading
The "thing" in the Mapillary photo is a lake, not a pond,
regardless of what the OSM wiki says.
It's too large for a pond
