Answer

How can Mallorca reduce storm water flooding in cities?

A mix of regular drain cleaning, more green space, and fewer sealed surfaces can help rainwater drain away more naturally. Retention areas and permeable paths or parking spaces also reduce runoff during sudden storms. In Mallorca’s towns, small changes to urban design can make a noticeable difference over time.
