Interviewer instructions
A protected well is one, which has a ring of concrete wall and/or is covered. A borehole differs from a well in that it is deeper and requires a pump to bring the water to the surface. Public tap refers to taps set up and meant to be used by several households such as the ones found in George compound, Misisi compound, etc. It does not include taps, which are built at a particular house and are used by neighbours and others. The latter should be recorded as 'Own tap'.
