MD, I think this is aimed more towards locals than anything. As they do not pay for water and electricity they dont feel the impact of running water all day long outside the house, washing all of their cars every morning... that kind of thing.
They published the statistics a few years back on the average monthly expenditure of water and electricity in Qatar among the ex-pats and the locals.... I really need to dig this up. Around 5 years ago a small qatari household comsumed more than QR 4000 monthly in water and electricity, whereas "palaces" (not sure of the definition) consumed around QR 10,000.
