Why not just put the rain collecting buckets outside their house? Or if it is indeed water being transported from one side of a hill to the other for some reason, then this needs to be made more clear in the narrative. Even then it would make more sense for them to walk around the hill rather than up and down it. If it is important that they fall, they could stumble over something instead.
