When the reservoirs shrink: How Mallorca's water shortage affects Palma and the villages

Answer

How is the water shortage affecting Palma right now?

In Palma, the shortage is mainly felt through pressure on the supply system and growing concern about how long reserves can last. The city is better equipped than many villages, but it still depends on the same stressed island-wide water resources. If the dry weather continues, everyday use and planning for the peak season become more difficult.
