That makes sense.

landuse=water_catchment would probably be best (another new tag that I 
just made up). It cannot be logged. And in some places at least the 
water people don't even want walkers, let alone campers there. I think 
part of the Blue Mountains National Park has restrictions like this 
around a water catchment area. I think Hong Kong has areas for water 
catchment that are paved to increase the run off/harvest. So there is a 
vast verity in what water catchments physically are.

As I don't know what name it has .. it could be anything ... 'McPherson 
Water Catchment' or 'Mangrove Creek Water Catchment' ... arrr
https://www.wyong.nsw.gov.au/getmedia/7ca695e8-748d-4bca-beba-3b7bff8296e4/Mangrove-Creek-Dam-Brochure.pdf.aspx
says 'Mangrove Creek Dam Catchment' .. so I'll go with that. No 
copyright on the pdf... :-)
It does say access is restricted.. but not what the restrictions are.

-----------------------------
For those also using the LPI base Map to plot State Forests ... be 
carefull.
