Interviewer instructions

The purpose of this question is to assess the cleanliness of the household drinking water by asking about the household's main source of water. If drinking water is obtained from several sources, probe to determine the source from which the household obtains the majority of its drinking water. If the source varies by season, record the main source used at the time of interview.
