Table A2.
Open Codes Grouped into Axial Codes.
| Axial Codes | Open Codes |
|---|---|
| Good Water | The river flows, therefore the water is clean The borehole is clean because it is treated The river protects people Rainwater is soft, lathers well, and/or tastes good The river is perceived as cleaner in the dry season Nothing bad happens when one drinks from the river |
| Bad Water | The borehole has long wait times when other boreholes break, during the dry season, or on days people cannot use the river River water becomes polluted after mining Rainwater sometimes grows worms The borehole takes a long time to repair when it is broken Well water is unreliable; it often dries up before the rainy season is over The borehole water is “hot”; river water is cooler and/or tastes better River water is not seen as hygienic (anyone can put their foot in the water or spit in the water) The borehole is hard to pump, takes a lot of energy, and may wet the individual pumping |
| Methods | People usually collect at the water source closest to them Children often share burden of fetching water, especially before and after school Water sources are fairly close to people’s homes People let dirt settle before using the water Boreholes are typically located close together Boiling water is only common when preparing for children People treated the boreholes when they were built or regularly treat the boreholes Women use several methods to keep river water clean (sweep dirt away from the river, women do not bathe, etc.) Rainwater is sometimes treated with camphor to keep out worms River water is “burned” to create a smoky flavor in the water for taste Women use different sized buckets for different tasks |
| Outcome 1 | Women buy sachet water for drinking Women complain the borehole tastes salty |
| Customs around Water/Spirituality Around Water | People do not go to the river on certain days River God/Spirit/Goddess Women will sweep and scrub the borehole when it gets dirty |
| Use | Women use different types of water sources (e.g., borehole, covered, well, uncovered well, river, rainwater) |
| Health | Added after interviews anytime someone mentioned disease |
1 “Outcome” refers to how the water is perceived by participants after collection.
