Water shortage in Mallorca: As Gorg Blau and Cúber shrink — is Palma really prepared?

Answer

Why are Gorg Blau and Cúber so important for Mallorca?

Gorg Blau and Cúber are two key drinking water reservoirs in the Tramuntana and a major part of Mallorca’s freshwater supply. When their levels fall, it is a sign that the island has less buffer for dry spells and greater pressure on other sources. Their condition is closely watched because it reflects how vulnerable the system can become.
