Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Question 15</span>. What is the principal source of water used to wash, scrub, shower, etc. in the household?
<br />This question provides the identification of different sources of water used in households, which in turn helps to measure of the public service coverage and therefore, the importance of other sources of supply (such as well with a pump, well with no pump, river, etc. ). From this information we can estimate the proportion of households without access to a water system (hygienic or regular).
<br />Read all the answer options and fill in the bubble with the corresponding code pertaining to the answer given by the informant.
<br />If the household uses water from more than one source, record the most frequently used source. </p>
<div class="i1">Example: If the informant answers that the source of water comes from the water conduit inside of the house and from a neighbor's tap, ask what is the main source used and then record the option given as the correct answer.</div><p>In case that the water source is not included in any of the options from 1 to 9, fill in code 10, corresponding to "Other".
