did you mean that man_made=storage_tank open=top (or whatever the exact 
tag) is a tagging mistake and should be tagged as man_made=reservoir ?
if so, the 1st issue is a style one : this hidde the object on the major 
style and that prevend some ppl to use it (it should not, but it is)
or man_made=basin and/or natural=water + water=basin ?

(and man_made=reservoir_covered -> man_made=storage_tank ?)

it's a tag for the bin :
it's a landuse, so it should be the whole area dedicated to this 
function (the reservoir, the grassy area that sometimes surrounds it, 
the possible technical building, etc. until the fence that sometimes 
surrounds it)
on the main style everything is rendered in blue confusing a reservoir 
with the water body it contains (the reservoir closest to me today has a 
larger surface than the water body, as the reservoir at least includes 
the structure (concrete or earth) that holds the water)
