It's an 80l trash can.

The inverted lid has small holes drilled in them and act as the rain collector.

Two more pairs of holes, at the edge of the lid and into the container, together with some string keep the lid from blowing away.

Don't want mosquitoes getting in there either, lid is a must.

And the holes in the lid need to be smaller than a mosquito. Maybe some fine meshed screen would be helpful. I can’t really tell how big the holes are without a banana, for scale.
