[Tagging] man_made=storage_tank for open containers?

I did create new thread about including other features in wastewater
treatment facilities. Unfortunately I have been side track on other issues,
not necessarily OSM issue, but life in general.

I do plan to continue exploring how to tag the various features in
wastewater treatment facilities in the near future.

To the question of "Are storage tanks covered" It might depend on what they
are used for. I assumed most were covered.

My post was on Wastewater Plants looking to add two features, Clarifiers
and Digesters. Clarifiers look like a storage tank but may not be covered.
See https://www.dropbox.com/s/k87y9sf144xxylv/clarifier.png?dl=0. I believe
clarification can also be done in basins.

Digesters on the other hand appear to be covered.

For wastewater plants, I'd like to explore how to best tag these features.
Is it man_made=storage_tank+storage_tank=digester? At this point, I'm not
sure, first I don't know if it's British English, and second, I don't know
it digester is a universal term or if there is a better one.

Clarifiers because they can either be in a tank or a basin, how should they
be tagged? man_made=storage_tank+storage_tank=clarifier or basin=clarifier.

The OP asked about slurry storage. I believe they belong in the
storage_tank category. Which would imply that storage tanks don't need to
be covered. (But if they aren't, I bet it stinks)

Best,
Clifford
