Indicator notes
% population with access to sewage system, septic tank or other hygienic means of sewage disposal, rural
Indicator code: E200109.T This indicator shares the definition with the parent indicator \"% population with access to sewage system, septic tank or other hygienic means of sewage disposal\".

Data taken from WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme on Water Supply and Sanitation publication \"Progress on sanitation and drinking-water – 2010 Update\", available from http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/en/.



Data refers to “percentage of population with improved sanitation facilities”.



Note: Every time a new WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme on Water Supply and Sanitation report comes out, it supersedes all previous reports and the data contained therein. Hence the new time series is the most accurate and updated one and they should not be mixed with the previous ones.
