Answer

Why is water such a big issue in plans for Mallorca’s future economy?

Water is central because both tourism and more local production depend on it, and Mallorca already has limited resources. Any plan to change the island’s economy has to deal with supply, land use, and who gets access to water. Without that, even well-meaning changes can become difficult to sustain.
