Interviewer instructions
This question seeks to get the respondent's perception of the walking distance from the household to the water source. The perception of distance from one place to another varies depending on the route being used. A person on foot can afford to use a short cut to the water source which a person using a motor vehicle may not be able to use. Hence the distance to the same water source by the two persons will differ. If the distance is given in miles, convert to kilometres. Record the actual distance given in kilometres (Km) to one decimal place. For those who use water truck/water vendor as the main source of water, establish whether the water is delivered at the household or the respondent moves a certain distance to get the water. If the water is delivered at home then the water source is on premise.
