| Notes: * : At the time of
house listing, each household was asked to specify the source of drinking water to the
household, that is whether the household gets its drinking water from well, tap, handpump,
tubewell, river, canal, tank or any other source. The households were also asked whether
the source of drinking water was available to them within the premises or not. On the
basis of the source, drinking water has been classified as ‘safe’ or otherwise.
If the household had access to drinking water supplied from a tap, handpump or tubewell
situated within or outside the premises, it is considered as having access to safe
drinking water
