Table 7.3 shows that for 32% of household members, the improved drinking water source is<br />
located on the premises. Slightly less than 6% of household members spend 30 minutes or<br />
longer getting to the improved drinking water source. Among the household members using<br />
an unimproved source of drinking water, only 11% have water on their premises. It takes 30<br />
minutes or more to fetch water for 11% of household members.<br />
For those household members with improved drinking water sources, the water source is<br />
more likely to be located on the household premises when the head of household is<br />
educated: 49% of households where the head of household had a secondary education had a<br />
source of improved drinking water located on the premises of the home, compared to 28%<br />
of households where the household head had no education. Further, the wealthiest quintile<br />
of households were the most likely (72%) to have an improved drinking water source on the<br />
household premises, while for the poorest quintile only 7% of households had an improved<br />
drinking water source on the household premises. Improved drinking water sources are<br />
found on the premises of urban households (67%) more often than in rural households<br />
(25%).<br />
