Saving rain water

While I was filming the swaying tree outside my house this morning, I heard some pitter patter sound coming from below. I thought something was leaking so I peep over the balcony to take a look.

Well, guess what I saw? I saw an out-stretched arm out of the balcony below holding a pail to collect rain water! I thought it would make an interesting shot so I captured the following footage as well.

Chris,

This is interesting.

During the kampong days,
I use to hear dripping rains drops into the pails or cans.
It not outside the house,but in my house.
As my family was staying in a rental zinc house and a lot of hole in the roof.

Hi Anthony,

When there's a heavy downpour, you will need to standby lots of pails then and not to mention mopping up when water overflow from the pails!
