Abstract
This paper presents results of household surveys conducted in Trinidad's Northern Range to assess I) the source of household water, 2) the methods used for collecting and storing household water, and 3) the reliability of household water sources. This case study adds to the body of literature about household water in a part of the world and socioeconomic groups that are understudied.
