[Tagging] Storm water control works?

there are a lot of “works” that are related to control stormwater runoff / flooding control stations (more than just a valve on a levee), that close / monitor the water outflow/inflow that is normally open for rice farming/storm runoff, and closes for extreme weather events, but it seems to be more than just a valve on a levee, as there are hundreds of thousands of those already - these are some kind of facility that go with that object. 

 I would be tempted to tag them with man_made=water_works, but it looks like that it’s only for drinking water. this is storm / flood control. Is there some other man_made=* for stormwater control works (beyond levees), or a modifier key for man_made=water_works?

The thing I’m working with is called a drainage station or a pumping station for wastewater control ( 排水機場 ) .

In one larger city here, (according to a city PDF http://www.city.narita.chiba.jp/DAT/000103890.pdf <http://www.city.narita.chiba.jp/DAT/000103890.pdf> page 3 [115]) there are 50 of these stations there alone. There are probably several thousand of these around Japan, and lots of other places built up that deal with flooding.

Any suggestions beyond an industrial landuse?

Maybe this abandoned proposal? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Pumping_Station <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Pumping_Station>

This area gets a ton of water.
