Description
WSTORMETAL indicates whether the household stores drinking water in metal containers, according to the woman respondent's answer to an open-ended question.
The information in WSTORMETAL 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").
Comparability
WSTORMETAL has no comparability problems.
Comparability - Standard DHS
