Answer

Why are rural holiday homes in Pollença causing concern about water use?

Rural holiday homes in Pollença are being linked to a much higher demand for water than many people expect. A recent study says their additional annual water use is substantial, and the problem is harder to track because many properties rely on private wells or cisterns rather than the public network. That makes it difficult for the municipality to see how much water is being taken and to plan sustainably.
