Interesting. Very different from Israel, which is in a part of the world that has long suffered from chronic droughts - the culture is very much that water needs to be preserved and not wasted (e.g., by taking long showers, etc). And I would say this is true even after Israel "beat" the drought with desalination plants (http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/05/30/world/middleeast/water-revolution-in-israel-overcomes-any-threat-of-drought.html http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/05/30/world/middleeast/water-...).
