Water
Households with access to potable water, Level I
274,259
 
Definition:
Proportion of population with access to an adequate amount of safe drinking water in a dwelling or located within a convenient
distance from the user's dwelling.
Method of Collection:
This indicator may be calculated as follows: The numerator is the number of persons with access to an adequate amount of safe drinking water in a dwelling
or located within a convenient distance from the user's dwelling multiplied by 100. The denominator is the total population.
Level I
(point source) -a protected well or developed spring with an outlet but without a distribution system, generally adaptable for rural areas where the houses are thinly scattered. A Level I facility normally serves an average of 15 households.
Level II
(communal faucet system or standposts) -a system composed of a source, a reservoir, a piped distribution network, and communal faucets. Usually, one faucet serves 4 to 6 households. Generally suitable for rural and urban fringe areas where houses are clustered densely to justify a simple piped system.
Level III
(waterworks system or individual house connection) -a system with a source, a reservoir, a piped distribution network and household taps. It is generally suited for densely populated urban areas.
Households with access to potable water, Level II
