Description
Definition
DRINKWTR (HV201) reports the household's main source of drinking water. Responses vary widely across surveys; see Comparability.
The information in DRINKWTR is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
