depends what veges
potatos will be fine just in water alone .. add nothing to the water
carrots peeled will be ok same
starchy veges wont get "water-logged" overnight

spuds, kumura as chef says will be fine in water .. pumpkin no good in water and will become soggy.. just cut it up now and put in cool spot.. maybe will oxidize on the cut edges but no big deal.. or wait till your ready and cut and add to basket just before hangi going down...

Potatoes and kumara need to go in water otherwise they turn a lovely shade of grey/brown because of oxidation with the air.
Pumpkin is better just in a plastic bag in the fridge.
