Answer

Why do people in Mallorca talk so much about water use?

Water is a serious issue in Mallorca because the island has limited resources and long dry periods. That is why gardens, fincas and event spaces are often discussed in terms of irrigation, rainwater storage and lower-consumption landscaping. For local projects, water use is not a side issue but part of whether they fit the island’s reality.
