    What do you think?
I find very strange that reservoir is a landuse by itself
it would be a bit like putting landuse=rest on a bench
or landuse=stop on a parking lot.
landuse should be what the place is for. reservoir is the function
of the object, which is inscribed when a larger purpose (agriculture,
energy production, flood management,...)

Counter argument..

Reservoir is for the storage of water, thus a use of the land. It could be 
named 'water_storage' but the areas mapped would remain the same.

Some reservoirs serve more than one end purpose e.g. flood management and water 
for human consumption.


natural=water is not perfect (soe dislike natural for man-made feature)
but at least it allows to split "there is water" with its function

The key natural is also disliked by me. Water is a land cover .. so could be 
tagged landcover=water.

Other features in the key natural are either land covers or land forms and 
could be split into those 2 keys.
