  1-     Do you have economic taps in your house?
   - No, I donít but I used them before.
 2-     Do you think using economic taps helps in saving water?
   - I donít think they are efficient because with some types water goes on running until it stops by itself even if you donít need it- you cannot control them - and other types send out too little water; this drove me mad and I pulled out the whole tap.
 3-     How much money a month do you pay for the water bill?
   - I donít pay more than 20 dinars.
 4-     Do you think desalination of sea water is a good solution to the problem of water scarcity?
   - Desalination of sea water is a costly solution but it should be considered.
 5-     Do you think swimming pools are necessary in hotels?
   - In my opinion swimming pools and hotels in general are one of the causes of the water problem.
 6-     Do you think of water preserving in your daily use?
   - No, I never think about it; however, I just use water for my needs.
 7-     Would you think of preserving water if it were free?
   - I think if water were free, I wouldnít change the quantity I usually consume.
 8-     How do you react when you see a TV spot encouraging water saving?
   - I laugh and change the channel.
 9-     Do you have a garden? When do you water it?
