3. Results
A total of 179 'general questionnaires' were administered to
one individual from each household in the village and 84.8%
of the households were thus covered. The Harijan colony
had a larger population than the upper caste Main village,
with more households (119 vs. 60) and with a larger mean
family size (4.78±2.12 vs. 4.07±1.99,P=0.03).
Of a total of 110 individuals selected for the individ-ual questionnaire, 97 (88.2%) completed the questionnaire;
41 (42.3%) respondents were from the Main village and 56
(57.7%) from the Harijan colony. The difference in the dis-tribution of the respondent households between the Main
village and the Harijan colony was not statistically signifi-cant (P=0.15). Data from the individual questionnaire are
presented inTables 1—3. From the individual questionnaire,
SES was obtained for 95 (97.9%) individuals. Differences
between the SES in the sample and the entire village were
not significantly different (P=0.46). However, there were
significant differences in the SES of theMain village (P=0.02)
and the SES of the Harijan colony (P=0.003) when compared
separately with that of the entire village. Results from both
questionnaires and focus group discussions are presented
below.

3.1. Water supply and storage
Ninety-five (97.9%) of the 97 individuals interviewed (and
their households) obtained their water supply from the gov-ernment piped supply, derived fromtwo borewells. Only two
households (in the Harijan colony) had private bore wells.
All openwells and hand pumps, previously important sources
of drinking water of the village, had been dry for almost
5 years. Eighty-four (86.6%) individuals interviewed kept
drinking water separate from water used for other purposes
such as washing vessels and clothes, and for toilet purposes.
Water was stored in steel vessels in 74 (76.3%) households,
