Who knows. Especially in reservoirs there might be flooded forests. There have been many debates about whether a lake in a forest is part of the forest or not. Or a river, or a street. Anyway, this doesn't solve the underlying problem. Not every large area has other features running through them where you can conveniently split the area. And if you split the area into arbitrary chunks that it is really "tagging for the renderer".
