33. Main water supply used by household, Question 43
Ask where the water is usually supplied for drinking, cooking and other uses. If the answer matches one of the stated sources, mark the relevant box, otherwise mark "Other".
- If the water for drinking, cooking or other uses is supplied from different sources, identify just the major one in each case and mark only one box. Note the following in filling out this question:
- In case the water used by the household is supplied from "Public water network in the city/village," mark each of the three relevant boxes, not considering where the network's water is supplied from and also not considering the access mode to the network (in- or outside of the unit).
- If the water used by the household is supplied from a well, spring, aqueduct or water reservoir, based on the improvements on sources, mark the relevant box. Improvements mean the actions taken in order to preserve or improve water quality in each of the mentioned sources; such as repairing the inside of a well or aqueduct, cleaning the connected streams and other necessary actions to prevent any pollutions or water filtration.
- If for any reason the water is supplied from a water tank (fixed or mobile), mark "water tank", not considering where the source of the tank's water is.
- Packed water means different kinds of packaging for water, such as bottle or gallon that the household usually uses for drinking or cooking.
- In some cities/villages, the water from the public network is sold after actions for filtration and taste improvements. If the household uses this type of water, mark "Public water network in city/village" in the linked box.
