Answer

How can Mallorca reduce flooding and rubbish problems at beach outlets?

Experts point to retention basins, screens and grates at torrent mouths, plus regular maintenance of drainage systems. Better waste control upstream also matters, because illegal dumping and careless rubbish disposal make flood damage worse. In the longer term, prevention is much more effective than repeated emergency cleanups.
