Only 56% of the population has access to a drinking water source.

I don't get it... how do the rest survive?

Containers alone. Or a mixture of containers for important things & low quality sources if available

Yes but they must fill their containers at a drinking water source...

Maybe it's a language thing I'm not understanding.

A source is like something you can bottle from. I don't think buying gallon bottles of water counts. Also, tainted water that gives a baby cholera in a formula mix doesn't count.
