^aValues are averaged across villages

^bDuring the survey, river streams were divided into 50-m-long segments, and each segment was individually characterized. This habitat class also included remnant water pools on the riverbeds and, therefore, multiple segments could be part of the same river stream

^cGround pools included large or small marshes and ponds with stagnating water, sometimes with vegetation present

^dHabitats defined as pits included spring-fed wells and dug pits, as well as brick and concrete pits, and all were created by communities
