Interviewer instructions

Question 8: What is the main source of water for your household?
The main source of water is the principle water source the household uses the most during the year for eating and drinking. It does not take in account where that source came from, nor whether it belongs to the household or to someone else. Based on the answer, the investigator will circle one of "1", "2", "3" or "4".

Note: For water sources with "filtering system or wells that guarantee hygiene" ("3"), only count the sources that meet the following requirements:

Water is colorless, odorless, and has no strange taste
The water source must be at least seven meters from contaminated areas (cattle barns, toilets, cemeteries, etc.)

If the household uses many different water sources, then verify that the main water source has the highest volume of usage.
