<div dir="ltr">Question that just came to mind after discussions on tagging list.<div><br></div><div>Just entered some details for a property in Western Qld, & started to include a turkey nest dam
<a href="https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/water-management/excavated-tanks-farm-dams">https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/water-management/excavated-tanks-farm-dams</a>, but then thought, what's it actually called?</div><div><br></div><div>Is it a waterway=dam? - not on waterway so wouldn't have thought so<br></div><div><br></div><div>natural=water + water=reservoir / landuse=reservoir?
