The volume must be ONLY in water_volume=* and not in implicitly given by 
another tag. It must br clear enough to be understood by an occasional mapper.
More complexity is when a piece of information is implicitly given by another 
tag, not when two different tags gives two different information.

It has no much sense to group only natural sources in waterbody, but leave 
artificial ponds outside. First of all because it may be that you can't easily 
distinguish an artificial pond from a natural pond. Then there is no advantage 
in having only ponds made explicit but not other sources.
On the contrary, now I think that we must made explicit all water sources and 
do not use at all waterbody. Stream, river, lake, pond, sea, ocean are clear 
enough to be understood by an occasional mapper and correspond to existing 
tags. Instead, to undestand what waterbody would mean, mappers and users should 
read the wiki explanation.
Moreover you can deduce some useful information from water sources: for example 
that a stream could be dry, or that sea provides salt water, that is unwanted 
in pumps.
