Answer

What practical steps can Mallorca vineyards take to conserve water?

Vineyards can use drip irrigation guided by sensors to water only when vines show stress. Building soil with compost and cover crops helps retain moisture, and adapting pruning plus adding shade structures protects the fruit from sunburn. These measures reduce irrigation needs while supporting vine health.
