Estellencs Rations Water: 130 Liters per Person – Who Pays for the Thirst?

Answer

Why is Estellencs limiting water use in Mallorca?

Estellencs has introduced a daily water quota because groundwater reserves are low and the local spring s'Ull de s'Aiguo has weakened after a hot, dry summer. The municipality is trying to protect the remaining supply while demand stays high, especially when visitors arrive on weekends. The situation reflects a wider water stress affecting parts of Mallorca.
