Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

When you see a situation like this, you should look at the skip pattern of the questionnaire. I did a cross-tabulation of the two variables, including the NA (not applicable) cases with this command: tab sh101 sh102,m. (For this purpose you don't need to include the weights.) It's clear that the question about source of water for cooking or handwashing was only asked of respondents who said that their source of drinking water was bottled water (sh101=81).

hv102 is a duplicate of sh102. hv102 is probably labeled in English just because it is a core variable that appears in all surveys. Variables with labels that begin with "s" are survey-specific variables. I really don't know why sh102 was included as a survey-specific variable when it was also a core variable. The question was not asked twice--this is just a duplication during data processing.
