Survey data Reported data estimates
• JMP uses “improved” facilities as proxy for safe or hygienic sources of drinking water
• Based on household surveys with question on“What is the main source of drinking water formembers of this household?”
• Similar approach for sanitation
Household QuestionnaireWATER AND SANITATION MODULE
Use of improved drinking water sources:
Proportion of population who use any of thefollowing types of water supply for drinking: • Piped water connection into dwelling, yard, or plot• Public tap/standpipe• Tubewell/Borehole• Protected dug well• Protected spring• Rainwater collection• Bottled water (only if a secondary improved source is used)
NOT improved are: Unprotected dug well, unprotected spring,vendor provided water, tanker truck, surface water (river, stream,dam, lake, pond, canal, irrigation channel)
Household QuestionnaireWATER AND SANITATION MODULE
Use of improved sanitation facilities:
Proportion of population that use: • Flush/pour-flush to piped sewer system• Flush/pour-flush to septic tank• Flush/pour-flush to pit• Ventilated improved pit latrine• Pit latrine with slab• Composting toilet
