Interviewer instructions
If more than one source of drinking water is used, only the main one will be recorded. If the household uses a different drinking source in different seasons, then use that source that they use the most days in a year. Note that a spring (chemichemi) is water that naturally springs from the ground, while a well (kisima) is dug to reach the ground water table level. A chemichemi can be dug a little to improve water collection, but that does not make it a kisima. In case the response is ‘tinga tinga’, the response option [9] should be selected.
