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...
