- Salt evaporation ponds should be tagged with landuse=salt_pond
- Other evaporation ponds should be tagged with basin=evaporation
- Open-air man-made swimming pools are tagged with leisure=swimming_pool
- Artificial lakes and ponds are also tagged with water=reservoir if they are formed by a dam across a valley or natural depression
- water=basin and landuse=basin are used for an area of land artificially graded to hold water
- water=reflecting_pool - a water feature found in gardens, parks, and at memorial sites which consists of a shallow pool of water, undisturbed by fountain jets, for a calm reflective surface.
- water=wastewater - A clarifier/settling basin of a wastewater treatment plant.
