4.5 Part E: characteristics of the dwelling

E10: origin of household drinking water
The assessment of water quality from information on the source of supply is based on a number of assumptions. For example, water supply facilities may experience malfunctions which, by affecting water quality, present certain risks to households. Similarly, pipes and wells may be damaged or contaminated. However, it is difficult to ask a respondent to assess the quality of the water that the members of their household drink. The possible sources are clearly specified, and the AR will simply have to register the source reported by the respondent. If the household uses more than one source of water supply, record the main source, which is the most commonly used. If the source varies depending on the season, record the source used at the time of the interview.
Circle the code corresponding to the method cited as the main source of the water used by the household for drinking.
