Got your point... but landuse=basin doesn't seem right. I don't think
that we have a fitting tag here. My feeling tells me that something
like leisure=basin could fit. Yes, I know, it's again "basin", but
this time we clearly state it's a basin for leisure. As an alternative
landuse=basin + basin=leisure might be ok, but - at least to me - it
again doesn't "feel" right.

Hmm... how about landuse=meadow + meadow=recreation ?

Count me in if you need some help.
