Interviewer instructions
- Section J: Housing conditions and amenities. This section covers columns H18 to H27 on housing conditions and amenities. These questions are to be posed to the Head of the Household or any other responsible person.
39.7 Column H24: Main source of water
In column H24, ask "what is the main source of water for this household?" You are required to code the main source of water. This is the source from which, for most part of the year, the household draws its water. For example, if during the wet season the household draws water from a tank but then the longer part of the year draws from a river, code "4" as main source of water.
The main sources of water listed are:
- Pond: A small area of still water. Usually this water collects after rain or through an underground drainage.
- Dam: A reservoir formed by building a barrier across a river to hold back water and control its flow. A lot of these dams are built in dry areas of Kenya.
- Lake: Usually bigger than a pond but has water collecting in it through rain, rivers etc. It is different from a dam in that it is not man-made.
- Stream/river: This is a naturally flowing source of water.
- Spring: This is a place where water springs or wells up from earth or underground.
- Well: This is a manmade shaft dug in the ground from which water is obtained. Water is drawn using buckets.
- Borehole: Same as the well as defined above but deeper than a well and has pump for drawing the water into a tank, buckets etc.
- Piped: Means water drawn through pipes installed in a dwelling unit and originating in a central (public) source.
- Jabias/Tanks: Rainwater harnessed from any catchment into a hole/tank and used for domestic purposes.
- Vendor: Refers to water purchased by households from mobile sellers or distributors. Examples of ferrying include cart, bicycle, individuals, truck etc. The source of the water may be known or not, by the households.
- Other: Any source that is not mentioned above
