<p>186. Columns H01 to H19 relate to specific questions concerning the household. They are questions that relate to the household as a whole and not to individual members.</p>

<p><span class="em">H12 - Principal source of water supply for drinking</span>
<br />198. Some households rely on more than one source of water supply for drinking. In a case like this, find out which of the source they get their supply from most of the time. It is that source which is the principal source that should be recorded. For example if a household has piped water into the house or compound but also have a well (ordinary or mechanical), find out from which of the two sources they get most of their drinking supply from. Record the appropriate code from the list.
