After the rain-soaked November: More water — and many open questions

Answer

Why is water management in Palma and rural Mallorca so different?

Palma and rural Mallorca rely on the same island-wide water balance, but they often experience the pressure differently. In the city, leaks in pipes and high demand matter a lot, while in the countryside farmers and finca owners feel the state of wells and cisterns more directly. That is why water policy has to work across both urban and rural areas.
