Description

WSTORPLASTIC indicates whether the household stores drinking water in plastic containers or buckets, according to the woman respondent's answer to an open-ended question.

The information in WSTORPLASTIC 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").
