Household Survey Data Comparing Continuous and Intermittent Water Supply Areas

Qiao Wang published a dataset comparing household characteristics between continuous water supply (CWS) and intermittent water supply (IWS) areas on figshare. The full survey contains 95,405 household records, with an analytical sample of 34,811 CWS households used for model training. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Training predictive models for water consumption based on household characteristics mentioned in the description
• Comparing demographic profiles between areas with different water supply reliability
• Analyzing proportions and standard deviations for categorical and continuous variables as described

Strengths

• Contains data from a large-scale household survey with 95,405 total records
• Provides a clearly defined analytical sample of 34,811 households for model training
• Values are presented as proportions (means) and standard deviations for different variable types

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count for the final dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• 60,594 IWS household records were surveyed but excluded from the primary analysis
