Comparability with IPUMS-DHS
HWCSTOREDWATER in IPUMS-PMA is similar to the variable HANDWASHWTR in IPUMS-DHS. However, note that HANDWASHWTR does not distinguish between households with a fixed place for hand washing and households with movable containers for hand washing, while HWCSTOREDWATER does make this distinction. There may be differences in questionnaire text or the variable's universe; see the Survey Text and Universe Tab of the IPUMS-DHS variable for more information.
