44% and Still Uneasy: Why Mallorca's Water Situation Remains Regionally Critical

Answer

Is 44% water storage enough for Mallorca to get through summer?

Not necessarily. A fill level of around 44% across the Balearic Islands gives some breathing room, but it does not guarantee security for Mallorca, especially if the next dry period is long. The bigger issue is that water is not evenly distributed, so some areas can still face shortages much earlier than others.
