This indicator reflects the proportion of households that can access a water source with a round trip time of 30 minutes or less, highlighting the accessibility and availability of water in a given area. A higher percentage signifies greater convenience for families, which can significantly influence their daily routines and overall quality of life. Access to water within this timeframe can reduce the burden of time spent on water collection, allowing individuals—especially women and children—to engage more in educational, economic, and social activities. Furthermore, this measure serves as a critical gauge for assessing infrastructure development and resource allocation, informing policy decisions aimed at improving water supply systems and promoting public health within communities.
