[2019] Stone water reservoir's not working

I was excited about the latest updates for Reservoirs, but now it made it even harder for me to have a desert farm. I am on J4, and none of my reservoirs are filling up with water. I made new ones and placed them down, but I don't see the HUD displaying the information mentioned in the patch. We even placed it on top of a shoveling area to see if "Fertile Ground" meant places that you can dig for water. Oh and don't get me started on the Inventory space of the Reservoirs. I can't even fill them up fast enough since it is one slot now. I also wanted to know why Ardown Peninsula has a lake, but it is considered Ocean, I would understand if it was connected, but it really isn't.
