Did you know people carried water in Bamboo poles?

Bamboo was used for various things including carrying water. I had no clue.
People could carry about 5 - 7 bamboo poles in a basket.


 Water was collected from village tanks or streams - usually quite a distance away from the village.
These drawings are scenes from the story - rich girl poor girl - where the three carried water home.
