PURPOSE: A water storage device for a vehicle with a drain valve which is operated by the wind created by motion is provided to automatically discharge unnecessary water without a controller or power by automatically opening a drain valve due to wind created by motion. CONSTITUTION: A water storage device for a vehicle comprises a drain valve. The drain valve comprises a valve housing(31), a movable valve rod(37), and an elastic member(38). The valve housing has an inlet port(33) and an outlet port(34) in the inside and outside of a reservoir housing. The movable valve rod has a wind receiving plate(37a) and a blocking plate(37c). The wind receiving plate is pressed and moved by the wind created by motion. The blocking plate move together with the wind receiving plate and opens and closes the inlet port of the valve housing. The elastic member is installed between the valve housing and the movable valve rod. The elastic member elastically operates the movable valve rod.
