Why Mallorca's reservoirs remain empty despite rain — a reality check

Answer

Is a little rain enough to end drought concerns in Mallorca?

No, a short spell of rain usually does not end drought concerns in Mallorca. Reservoir levels, groundwater, pipe losses, and how water is used all matter just as much as the weather. A few rainy days may ease pressure, but they do not solve the underlying shortage.
