Note that CLWATERWOODHRS is only available for rounds 4 and 5 (in the "Household Members" and the "Household Characteristics" units of analysis, respectively). In Round 6, the number of hours the child spent on fetching water and collecting firewood were each separately captured. See CLWATERHOURS and CLWOODHOURS in the "Children 5-17" unit of analysis.
