Tanking or Cellar Tanking is the practice of protecting your cellar from damp. Obviously your cellar is under ground and therefore it is susceptible to water from above and below the ground, you will have a damp environment and if the damp starts to rise you could have problems on your ground floor too.
In many cases an un-used cellar is cold and so any damp stays (damp is attracted by the cold) but once the space is used and internal heating is introduced the damp looks for somewhere to go and that means up. So it is important to ensure that you take steps to properly treat your cellar and keep the room dry.
Even if you are not intending to use your basement for living in you will no doubt use it for storage. Packed boxes or furniture can fall victim to damp in any cellar which has not been protected.
