Description
Definition
TIMEWAITWTR reports the number of minutes usually spent waiting to collect water. Note this question does not include travel time to and from the source of water.
Most surveys asked about the time, in minutes, required to reach the household's source of water and return (see TIMETOWTRHH). Presumably many respondents included time waiting to collect water at its source in their estimates of the time required to get the household's water.
The information in TIMEWAITWTR is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
