Codes and Frequencies
Description
WTRLOCATED (HV235) indicates whether the main source of water for the household is located in the dwelling, in the household's yard or plot of land, or elsewhere.
The information in WTRLOCATED 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
The response categories for WTRLOCATED (HV235) are comparable across samples. However, as the differing variable universes indicate, WTRLOCATED may refer to the source for drinking water, for non-drinking water (say, for washing), or both potable and non-potable water.
Comparability - Standard DHS
WTRLOCATED (HV235) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase 5 forward.
