[Tagging] Lake or Pond

[Warin]

Was the depression, where the water is, formed by man? If so then it 
could be tagged as a basin ..

Reservoirs are not only for irrigation, many around me are there to 
supply water for human consumption.
So I don't think the use of the water is relevant to defining a reservoir.
