Percentage of households by main source of drinking water: protected, unprotected spring

Definition:

• Percentage of households by main source of drinking water: protected, unprotected spring refers to the percentage of households that primarily rely on water from springs as their main source of drinking water. Protected springs are considered an "improved" source, while unprotected springs are considered "unimproved."
• Protected Spring is a spring where the water source is designed and constructed to prevent contamination from outside elements, particularly fecal matter. This usually involves features like a covered collection area, a lined channel to direct water flow, and proper drainage to avoid stagnation.
• Unprotected Spring is a spring where the water source lacks any infrastructure to guard against contamination. It's directly exposed to the environment and potential pollutants.
