Ok, so you’ve noticed that many lakes are tagged as natural=water only, correct? It is recommended to add water=lake, but because natural=water is sufficient to get a water area to render on most maps, I believe many mappers don’t bother to add the more precise tags. Re: > “in Russian there are different types of man-made small bodies of water. > “Will it work to denote them as water:RU=пруд and water:RU=копанка instead of the generic water=pond?” I don’t know Russian and Google Translate is not helping, but I would recommend tagging all small man-made ponds as natural=water plus water=pond. If пруд and копанка are two types of pond that can be clearly distinguished, then you could try to translate these words and make up a sub-category for ponds, eg pond=копанка or better pond=<копанка translated into British English>, which could be added in addition to water=pond. (Also note that larger artificial water bodies are called reservoirs in English rather than ponds, so there is already one distinction) Could you describe the physical difference between a пруд and a копанка?
