Table of 1991 Census: Table H-5
This
table gives the distribution of households using a particular
type of the drinking water source, its location and availability
of electricity and latrine facility within the house. This table
excludes institutional households for which the information on
source and location of drinking water and availability of
electricity and latrine was not collected. For the purpose of
this table, the data are presented by four major types of
drinking water source. These are: tap, handpump, tubewell and
well. The remaining types of drinking water source have been
combined and shown as ‘all others’. The location of
availability of the drinking water source type has been
indicated as within the premises, near the premises (i.e., if
the available source type 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 objective of the table is to show the number of
households to whom all the three facilities are available, the
number of households to whom only two facilities are available
and the households to whom only one facility is available.
This table excludes institutional households for which
these data were not collected. The data in this table are
presented for total, rural and urban areas separately.
The
table is available only in electronic format.
