The question is concerned with the relative safety of the source (whether protected or otherwise). Indicate only one source: the main one used by the household during the dry season or at the driest time of year. Piped into dwelling or compound would be a tap or delivery by pipe into the houshold's dwelling. A public outdoor tap / borehole is a piped source shared by several households and outside the dwelling of the household being interviewed. A protected well would have a hard protective cover (cement or similar) that prevents access to the source whether a well or tubewell. An unprotected well / rainwater would be a well or container either open or with a non permanent cover. River, lake , pond is an open and unprotected fresh water source. Vendor truck is for water delivered to the dwelling perhaps by tanker, or sold nearby from a private source. Other is for other types of water supply, please specify the type on the line provided.
