In the link below, there is a utensil near to a bucket, in which a lady fills the water from the pump. Could you tell me a english word for the utensil?

We don't have them in the UK, as water is usually piped into our houses. I think I'd say metal pot for this item. It's not a jug, which tends to have a handle and a pouring lip.

Thank you.

We usually store water in the metal pot, which is in that link, to store water at home for a day. Most often, we use the water (in the metal pot) for a drink.

In which utensil do you store water at home?

Ah, in that case, perhaps you might say "storage jar"?

In the UK, we don't usually store water, just fill up a glass or pan from the tap when we need it. If I were putting water in the fridge to cool, though, I'd put it in a jug. If I were taking water with me on a journey, I'd put it in a bottle or flask.
