Definition:

• Percentage of households by main source of drinking water: unprotected well (unimproved source) refers to the percentage of households that primarily rely on water from unprotected wells as their main source of drinking water. An unprotected well is a well that lacks proper sanitation and protection measures, making it susceptible to contamination from surface water, animal waste, and other pollutants. These wells are considered unimproved sources of drinking water and pose a significant risk to public health.
