Data from the first (1989) through third (1993) waves of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) were used for the analyses.1 The CHNS is one of the few datasets from developing countries that has information on child anthropometrics as well as household-level accessibility to clean water over time, making it possible to control for child fixed effects in examining the effect of water accessibility on child health. The survey population was drawn from eight of China's 31 provinces, located throughout the country: Guangxi, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Liaoning, and Shandong. A multistage, random cluster approach was used to construct the sample in each of the eight provinces. The 190 primary sampling units consisted of 32 urban neighborhoods, 30 suburban neighborhoods, 32 towns, and 96 villages.2
