Description
BOREHOLE indicates whether the household had a borehole, a deep hole in the ground to be used as a source of water.
The information in BOREHOLE is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
Comparability
BOREHOLE has no comparability problems.
