Stallholders collecting rain water at Russian Market?

There was a storm at the weekend and lots of stallholders at the Russian Market were collecting rainwater in bottles and buckets.

Why do they do this? Is it to drink?

How does it relate to Cambodia's water supply problems? https://lifewater.org/blog/cambodia-wat ... w-to-help/

I've seen this too. I've often wondered if it's because the drainage system can't cope with the deluge, so they collect it in small buckets, only to be poured away later when the surface water has subsided.

Clearly a few small buckets would have no effect whatsoever, but we're talking Khmer logic here.

For drinking and hair washing.

Rain water is collected all around the country for washing, laundry, consumption etc.
