household if its head belongs to a Scheduled Tribe. The various
types of drinking water source usually used by the household for
which the data are presented includes Tap; Handpump; Tubewell;
Well; Tank, Pond, Lake; River, Canal; Spring; and others. The
drinking water source type availed of more during the greater
part of the year has been considered in case any household used
water from two or more sources.

indicated as within the premises, near the premises (i.e., when
the available source type is located within a radius of 100
metres in urban areas and 500 metres in the case of rural areas)

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
