WASH terms, practices, and products vary depending on the context. It is important to adapt the survey questions to the local context to make them acceptable and understandable. Furthermore, probing during the interview and asking clarifying questions will often times be necessary to ensure that the respondent’s answers are accurately reflected. Detailed notes about each question and instructions on answering the questions and suggestions for probing are provided below. If modifications are made to the module, it is important to account for the changes and provide guidance for the interviewers.
The purpose of Qs.WASH101–107 is to assess
whether the household has access to an improved source of drinking water, the degree of that access, and, if water is fetched, the individual who usually fetches the water. Q.WASH101–102: If drinking water is obtained from several sources, probe to determine the source from which the household obtains the majority of its drinking water. When the terminology used for the drinking water sources does not translate well into the local languages, pictures of the various sources might be helpful. Record the main source of drinking water in question Q.WASH101. Q.WASH102 is different from 101 in that it is asking the source of water for other purposes such as cooking and handwashing. The table below provides definitions of the water source response categories in Q.WASH101, Q.WASH102, and Q.WASH107.
Qs.WASH103–105:
One aspect of access is how long it takes to fetch water. If the source of water is located outside of the dwelling (Q.WASH103), it is important to know how long it takes to fetch water. The time to fetch water (in minutes) must include the entire process of fetching, which is going to the source, filling up the containers, and returning to the household; it is more than just the distance to the supply point. The time for collecting water may impact the quality of life of the household members that usually do it. Q.WASH105 asks the person that most often or usually goes to fetch the water. For Q.WASH105, a child is an individual under 15 years of age. Probe to see if someone else usually accompanies this person to fetch water and record that response in Q.WASH105A.
