Answer to Question 1

Becky's wealth is 31,000, the sum of her initial wealth (30,000 ) plus her new saving of 1,000.

Answer to Question 2

The villains are those people who use too much water on their lawns, and the victims are those people who want to use the water for other things. This is actually just a dispute over the best use of a resource between people with competing preferences. As a result of the restrictions, people have dry, brown lawns and dying shrubs in their gardens. Without the restrictions, other people may not have been permitted to wash their cars or keep their swimming pools filled. Much of this dispute could be avoided if water were priced in the marketplace instead of by municipalities, as that would direct water to its most valued uses and encourage conservation.
