Description

WSTORFLASK indicates whether the household stores drinking water in flasks, bottles, or sachet bags, according to the woman respondent's answer to an open-ended question.

The information in WSTORFLASK is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").

Comparability

Apart from small differences in question wording, WSTORFLASK has no comparability problems.
