Why do they call tankers that shuttle water tenders? What do they tend??

The reason water tankers are called "tenders" or "water tenders" is to lessen confusion in areas where use of Air Tankers (radio call "Tanker") are common. Having two different types of resources called "Tanker" could cause a serious problem.
