Corresponding Table of 1991 Census: Table H-5
This
table gives the distribution of households by the type of the
drinking water source and its location. This table excludes
institutional households for which the information on the source
of drinking water and its location was not asked. The various
types of drinking water source usually used by the household for
which the data are shown includes Tap; Handpump; Tubewell; Well;
Tank, Pond, Lake; River, Canal; Spring; and others. In case any
household used water from two or more sources, the drinking
water source type availed of more during the greater part of the
year has been considered. The location of the drinking water
source type has been indicated as within the premises, near the
premises (i.e., when the available source is located within a
radius of 100 metres in urban areas and 500 metres in the case
of rural areas) and away. The drinking water source type has
been considered ‘away’ if it is located beyond 100 metres
for the households in urban areas and more than 500 metres for
the households living in rural areas. The data in this table are
presented for total, rural and urban areas separately.
The
tahsil and town level data will be available only in electronic
format.
