Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

I opened the HR file (IAHR74FL.dta) in Stata and entered "tab hv201 hv235, m". I think the discrepancies can be explained by a distinction between water for general purposes, with hv235, and water specifically for drinking, with hv201. Otherwise, many combinations, in addition to what you mentioned, would make no sense.

I see that hv235 is NA if hv201 is "piped into dwelling" or "piped to yard/plot". Some recoding of hv235 is called for if you want it to include those cases.
