After the rain-soaked November: More water — and many open questions

Answer

Why do Mallorca’s reservoirs not fill up much even after rain?

Because not all rainfall ends up in reservoirs. Some water runs off too quickly, some soaks into the ground, and some is lost before it can be stored effectively. Mallorca also needs better retention, leak control and reuse systems if rain is to make a lasting difference.
