<p dir="ltr">Hey folks,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I feel like this discussion has strayed away from an Imports discussion and more towards a tagging discussion. Let's bring it back on topic and continue the tagging thread on the tagging mailing list please.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Maybe "reservoir" should be reserved for bodies of water that were created for a distinct purpose (i.e. a reservoir as a water source, or a reservoir used for power generation) other than just some area dammed up so people could swim/boat/fish.</div>

</div>well, there is also problem what is man-made, see<br>
<a href="http://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po%C4%8D%C3%BAvadlianske_jazero" target="_blank">http://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po%C4%8D%C3%BAvadlianske_jazero</a><br>
which is man made lake build in 16th century. so with the on the ground<br>
truth it's quite impossible to destinguish from natural lakes<br>
or <a href="http://www.freemap.sk/?c=core.gallery.view.22" target="_blank">http://www.freemap.sk/?c=core.gallery.view.22</a><br>
which even I can rember being made. but it's still a lake. to be honest<br>
I cannot find a single lake within 20km radius, which is purely natural.<br>

</div>maybe plus fixme=check if its pond or lake<br>
