Hi,
I have checked the two waves of Malawi DHS and identified that the water source variable has category 21 for tube well and 32 for unprotected well.
however, in the next wave 2000, the category 21 is and 32 is different from 2015 wave;


in 2000 it is as below (tab hv201)

21. unprotected well
32 unprotected well
42. river/stream


in 2015 it is as below (tab hv201)

21 tube well or borehole
32 unprotected well



Could you please tell me whether this is the case in all waves or is it a mere typo in data cleaning..
thank you!
