16. Bathroom
This question identifies whether the occupants have a facility to dislodge the feces and urine or "go to the bathroom". In addition, this question distinguishes whether there is a toilet, usually connected to drainage, or there is a latrine. Read the question and each option until obtain an affirmative answer and circle the corresponding code.

[Figures are omitted]

A latrine is a facility that has a seat of wood or other material to sit to "go to the bathroom" and also has an excavation (well or hole) where falls the excrement and urine. This type of facility is generally not connected to drainage. It is common that are located in a yard or land to ward off bad smells. This option includes wells or pits used to defecate, even if these do not have a seat.

Dry ecological toilets that have a tank (box) to store the waste and use add ash, sawdust, or lime instead of water, are recorded in the first option: toilet bowl (WC or bathroom) even if it is not connected to the drainage.

Circle the third option "there is no toilet or latrine" when occupants defecate elsewhere, either in a courtyard, mountain, cornfields, yard, or garden.

If the occupants do not have toilet or latrine, go to question 19 "Drainage"; otherwise, continue with question 17 "Water disposal".
