6.2.6.7 Main method to get drinking water (Column H7)
This question is about the main source of drinking water used by the household. Insist especially on the main source for the household because they can use several sources to obtain drinking water. The officer asks the question: "What is the main source for your drinking water?." The agent records the code corresponding to the correct answer.
When the officer enters code "7," he writes in full words the exact response.
1 = Tap: The tap can be in the yard, in the housing or in the concession. Generally, tap water comes from the EDM facilities. [##translator note: EDM-Malian Electric Company]
2 = Drilling: A borehole is usually in the street and works with a pump (used by hand, by foot).
3 = Finished well: A well is said to be finished when surrounded by cement and covered with a lid. The wells are constructed to avoid external water filtration.
4 = Traditional Well: The traditional well is the most common. It is not finished.
5 = Public tap: It is tap for public use (often for a fee) in the street.
6 = Surface Water: It is stagnant water (ponds, puddles, oasis ...)
