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.

How do you keep it clean so it’s potable?

For cleaning/washing dishes/etc I use it as is.

For washing myself, cooking and drinking, I filter it. First through a fine cloth, then through a commercial, activated carbon based, filter.
