<div>Hi,</div>
<div>I've been mapping on Africa in HOT tasks and
around, I've seen some cisterns, also know that
some humanitarian NGOs have made many cisterns
on Africa (also water_wells).</div>

A 'cistern' has a mechanism for keeping a water level
stable, commonly used in toilets. And OSM has no tag for
that feature (yet). They are connected to a water supply
with some pressure behind it. <br>
<br>
I'd think you want to map the provision of water? <br>
If it is 'drinkable' then the generic
amenity=drinking_water would suit? <br>
If non potable then amenity=watering_place ? <br>
<br>
If you don't know if it is drinkable then assume not, so
use </big><big>amenity=watering_place ? Maybe add a
note ? <br>
