There is not point having a 1000 ltr ice cube, plus that IBC tank might split so you could end up with little or no water.
Water butts are the same.
Last winter was a long cold one, The same as this summer has been a hot dry one.
I think i would have struugled to survive on a ration of 2 ltrs a day in the heat.
Not forgeting the water for the dogs and chickens and about 30 ltrs per day for the pigs i had.
It was a major eye opener for me.
Im keeping a look out for reasonably price IBC tanks as long as they are clean, ideally food grade. Then they need insulating against the summer heat and the winter freeze.
Dig yourself a pond...
Iv actually got a natural spring but i still like to have stored water for the family and the animals and the garden.
What if we had a drought and the spring dried up?
Then you could use the water in the pond
Stick some fish in there, water and food storage taken care of
Nice one with the spring btw! Parents has an underground stream / spring in the garden, pops up in a couple of places. They ruined it all when they filled the 3 wells in though
