"cistern" in English implies underground or covered.

You want something like
man_made=water_tank (unfortunately often used as fish?-water tank)

or
man_made=storage
storage=water

    Hi,
    I've been mapping on Africa in HOT tasks and around, I've seen
    some cisterns, also know that some humanitarian NGOs have made
    many cisterns  on Africa (also water_wells).

    Question:
    How to tag a cistern (it seems to be not like what is shown for
    "landuse=reservoir"; rather a small "man made" reservoir, on
    ground level or escavated, for either natural or treated water)?


I don't see any limits for 'landuse=reservoir' ? So it could be used from small to large. And if that is the 'best fit' then use it.
