man_made=water_works isn't relative to the activity for which the land is
used.
It is a feature combined with its perimeter.

As mentioned during RFC, we miss a scope to allow mappers to state "it's
water stuff" without knowing as much about what is going on exactly there.
man_made=water_works isn't the only possible value, there is
man_made=pumping_station, man_made=covered_reservoir...
utility=water is way simpler and cover them all.

Isn't this tagging gardening instead of wiki gardening?
It is actually possible in editors to disable warning on untouched features
to stop being warned this way.


Best regards
