Rain wasn't enough: Why Mallorca's reservoirs remain low

Answer

What can Mallorca do to keep more rainwater in the ground?

Mallorca can keep more rainfall by slowing it down and helping it seep into the ground. That means infiltration areas, swales, drainage planning and retention zones can all play a part in groundwater recharge. These kinds of measures are often more useful in the long term than relying only on reservoirs.
