Containers with clear water in garden

 

I see at several front yard gardens in my neighborhood, plastic 1/2
gallon containers located in their garden beds. Each is a clear plastic.
Each is filled with clear liquid, probably just water. I see so many
that I wonder "...are these  containers put there to benefit the flowers
or vegetables?
I am located in Panorama City, CA at zip 91402.

 Some time a small change can enable a plant to live.  Thinking of Hopi
and hilling to collect dew and reduce dry wind.

Sounds like what you're seeing are inverted 2 liter plastic beverage
bottles with "Aqua Spikes" attached... these water plants slowly like
drip watering and their flow rate is adjustable:
