Description

Definition
WTRPROVIDER reports the entity supplying (and paid for) the household's supply of drinking water.

For most samples (see Comparability), the information in TOILETSHAREPRIV 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.
