<div>there’s landuse=reservoir which has only 11% natural=water
tags. That’s maybe an argument against my point of natural water
being applied to any water body surface, but as the wiki says: “<span

33, 34); color: rgb(32, 33, 34); font-family: sans-serif;

that despite key name it is also used for artificial
structures like moats, basins of a wastewater treatment
plants, canals etc, including areas covered with water only
intermittently.” so basically some artificial water areas are
tagged with natural, and some aren’t.</span></div>

The key natural is used for both 'natural' and 'unnatural' (man
effected) features. It is a very poor key name as itm does not
reflect the OSM use. <br>
