I've come across some large water tanks for fire fighting purposes, and
was wondering what exactly to tag them as.

I've found a few in the Kinglake area, there's a few more to put on the
map too.

Pictures of them:

Where some of them are:

Best-suited tag that's not quite spot-on:

What I'm wanting to know, is what should I call the fire_hydrant:type
tag?
I've temporarily put down "tank", but maybe it should be "reservoir" as
proposed in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Fire_Hydrant

Next thing would be to tag the capacity (or estimated capacity), which
would be in meters cubed, estimated by doing a
(pi*radius*squared)*height
And perhaps a tag to say that the water is not stored under pressure,
and would probably require a pump.

Any suggestions would be welcome.  Otherwise I guess I could contact the
CFA up there for ideas.
