Description

Definition
WTRSHORTIME reports how long recent interruptions in the household's water supply lasted, in grouped categories ranging from hours to weeks.

The information in WTRSHORTIME 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.
