aqua roll to store water?

We have a pair of 40ltr aqua rolls for camping now these sit empty for most of the year now I'm wondering about using them for storing water. I'm thinking empty before we go camping and fill up again when we get back.
Any suggestions or experience?

Re: Underground Bunker

I'm sure there is some rule that says bomb shelters don't need planning permission if they are as deep as they are far away from a building and under a certain size. But you still need to pass building regs.
