Description

Definition
WSTORDK indicates whether the woman respondent did not know where the household stores its drinking water, according to her response to an open-ended question.

The information in WSTORDK is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").
