Description

Definition
WTR1KMYN reports whether the main source of water for the household was at home, within 1 kilometer of the home, or more than 1 kilometer from the home.

The information in WTR1KMYN 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").
