The problem is that the area we are talking about is not the area in the 
map you've linked to. What we are talking about is a sub-section of that 
area that has been protected for the purposes of drinking water supply.

Three problems:

 1. OSM tags are traditionally based on UK English so that'd have to be
    reservoir_catchment
 2. This tag has already been used in a bulk import of data for
    Massachusetts where I assume it means something in Massachusettsan law
 3. Implies that this represents the entire catchment of a reservoir but
    we're only talking about a sub-section here.
