Rain Bringer: Palma's Reservoirs Fill Up – A Breather for Water

Answer

Why do rain and snow in the Tramuntana matter for Palma’s water supply?

The Serra de Tramuntana feeds the reservoirs that help supply Palma, so rainfall there has a direct effect on the city’s water reserves. Snow matters too, because when it melts it adds extra volume to the system. That is why weather in the mountains can shape water conditions in Palma days or weeks later.
