Why Mallorca's reservoirs remain empty despite rain — a reality check

Answer

What does Mallorca need besides rain to solve its water shortage?

Mallorca needs a mix of measures, not just better weather. That includes fixing leaks, managing demand, reusing water, improving irrigation, and making clearer decisions about who gets water when supplies are tight. Without structural changes, the island may keep facing the same shortages after every dry spell.
