1- Do you have economic taps in your house? - No, I don’t but I used them before.

2- Do you think using economic taps helps in saving water? - I don’t think they are efficient because with some types water goes on running until it stops by itself even if you don’t 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 don’t 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 wouldn’t 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? - Yes, I have a garden. Its area is 120 m square and I water it only in summer every three days.
