<p><span class="h3">Part 3: Information about housing</span>
<br />The DTV collects information about the housing situation of the household. Do not collect housing information for specific demographics.</p>

<p><span class="em">Question 63: What is the main source of drinking water in your household?</span>
<br />The main source of drinking water is the water source that in the past year (12 months prior to the time of the survey) the household has used the most for drinking, regardless of where that water source comes from. Sources of drinking water include the following types:</p>
<div class="i1">- Tap water: Tap water is produced by industrial methods connected to the system of faucets located inside or outside the house.</div><span class="pg">[p.82]</span><div class="i1">- Buying water (tanks, jugs): Water that has been treated, purified at facilities licensed by state agencies, and sold to users in the form of stainless steel tanks or in plastic jugs.<br /><br />- Drilled well water: Water is withdrawn from a deep drilled well to get groundwater through a small hole with a protective pipe, the water is usually withdrawn through a pumping system.<br /><br />"Water tree" also counts as drilled well water. While "Water tree" doesn't seem to be different from tap water, as it is also withdrawn from a drilled well into a high tower, then using a pipeline system for consumption at each household. However, it is not treated using an industrial process (bakki showers, filtration system, disinfecting, sediment tank) before being distributed to the place of consumption.<br /><br />- Protected dug well water: Water taken from a dug well built with bricks or other protective material to prevent wastewater from seeping through, with a wall on top to prevent dirt or animals from falling in.<br /><br />- Unprotected dug well water: Water taken from a dug well that does not have a protective wall to prevent wastewater from seeping in and to prevent dirty objects from falling into the well.<br /><br />- Protected water gap: Water in the headwaters of rivers and streams, flowing out of underground veins (gap) of mountains (made of dirt or rock) and is protected to prevent waste or pollutants from entering. Protected water gap is usually a water gap with a man-made reservoir wall, from which water is led through a closed pipe system to the place of consumption.<br /><br />- Unprotected water gap: Water taken from a water gap which cannot prevent waste or pollutants from falling in. An unprotected water gap is usually a water gap without a reservoir wall.<br /><br />- Rain water.</div><p>For example: A household uses tap water for cooking, drilled well water for bathing, and other daily activities. In this case, DTV identifies the main source of drinking water of the household as "Tap water".
