How to tag
Begin by placing a node or a closed way on the map, and tagging it with
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| landuse=reservoir | A man-made body of stored water. |
It sometimes makes sense to add the following tags:
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| name=* | The name of the reservoir, if known. |
| covered=yes/no | Whether the reservoir is covered[1], typically buried underground. |
| natural=water | Can be added if the reservoir is also a body of open water. See also #Status |
Rendering
Blue area.
Osmarender has different rendering rules using the key reservoir_type=*:
- reservoir_type=evaporator
- reservoir_type=cooling
- reservoir_type=sewage
- reservoir_type=tailings
- reservoir_type=water_storage
Status
Some mappers consider the landuse=reservoir tag "deprecated" and prefer the natural=water + water=reservoir scheme. This new scheme was introduced by water details proposal but is currently rarely used (3400 uses as of 06 December 2011) whereas there are close to 200000 uses of landuse=reservoir so it's not likely to go away any time soon.
