Description
Definition
Is the most commonly used source by the family for drinking; it is one of the following cases:
1. Public network connected to housing unit: Transferring water through the water network into the dwelling (through internal pipe extensions) and connecting it to one or more facilities, for example, in the kitchen and / or bathroom.
2. Protected well/protected spring: The dug well is a deep hole in the ground that has been drilled or excavated to reach the groundwater, where the water can be extracted from it using a pump or other means. The spring is intended to automatically flow groundwater from the ground and may be in a pit or surface flow. In the two cases, the protected well or spring is a dust-protected well, such as bird droppings, insects and other health contaminants, and is separated from the external contaminants and covered so that no pollutant can enter.
3. Unprotected well/unprotected spring: It is a well or spring without a cover that prevents the arrival of life or any other contaminants to the water surface, and is more exposed to health contaminants.
4. Rainwater: Rainwater collected from rooftops or elsewhere and collected in wells or reservoirs. Groundwater is not considered as a collection water for rain. Therefore, the main source of this water is rainwater. Tanks, artesian wells, springs, public water network.
5. Tanker-truck/cart: Means large, small or animal-drawn trucks or any means of transporting water using tanks for the housing unit regardless of where the water is stored in the housing unit.
6. Bottled water: Water is bought in sealed bottles or gallons, it is not meant that store the water of the house in bottles or gallons.
7. Public tap: A source of water available to the public and is usually located in a public square or public place.
8. Other: In case the main source of drinking water other than previous case.
