Answer

How long does the current water shortage in Mallorca villages usually last?

There is no fixed timeline, because shortages depend on rainfall, groundwater levels and how quickly the system can be stabilised. In Mallorca's mountain villages, water problems can ease after rain but return if the infrastructure remains weak. Without structural repairs, the same shortages can keep happening from one dry period to the next.
