While renovating a house I found 600 2-liter bottles (empty soda or pop plastic bottles depending on where you are from) filled with water in the basement on shelves. The former owner was a World War 2 marine who passed away. There was no indication he was a “survivalist” such as canned goods stored there.
1.) What’s your guess as to why he was storing the water?
2.) Has anyone found “odd” things in a home or apartment?

Or they are holding up your house,,,,don't pull them out....
It is full of bacteria. Hopefully it isn't for consumption. My first thought was flushing the toilet. You might want to check the water intake on the toilet.
Maybe during a cold winter, he can pour it all out, and ice-skate???
Most people don't know, that any container that has the seal broken, and sat in a car overnight, is not fit for drinking. This includes bottled water, and plastic/paper cups from fast food.
horrible life...toliet intake was fine. Some of the plastic bottles were from years ago......so they were never used for anything.

WWII Marine?
Many of the campaigns were plagued with supply problems. Some wounded Marines died more from lack of water than medical aid. If I remember correctly Tarawa's Marines were supplied with tainted water before they even landed. Anyone who has gone past the typical government rhetoric concerning what the Marines had to endure through the horrific Pacific Campaign would figure that that pood sod was still suffering from his combat experiences. He was one of the few that lived through the madness, but he still perhaps had the nightmares.
A wounded man loses blood, and requires water. Screams of the dying on the battlefield that can't be provided with the water they crave has to haunt anyone who hears the pleas for years, if not life.
I think everyone who votes for his country to go to war should go with the troops, or personally go to support the troops...cooking, carrying WATER, etc. None of this private contractor bs. If a country decides to go to war, then EVERYONE goes.
That's sobering.... I believe you solved the riddle.
