  • To calculate the indicator's value, take the following steps:
  • 1) count the number of households that are able to access at least 15 liters of water per person per day and their drinking water comes from safe water source(s).
  • 2) divide this number by the total number of respondents
  • 3) multiply the result by 100

Notes on indicator –
What does the indicator not tell us.
How long is it reliable for?

  • • Ensure that the data collectors count all people who currently live in the household, including people who are not regular household members, such as internally displaced persons.
  • • Check for seasonal differential
  • • Ensure that the data collectors are familiar with the main types of water containers the respondents use and know their volume (number of liters).
  • • When possible, collect data for distinct seasons. I.e. Rainy season versus dry season for understanding any differences between.
