Rain Bringer: Palma's Reservoirs Fill Up – A Breather for Water
How the Tramuntana affects Palma’s water reserves
Rain and melting snow in the Tramuntana help refill the reservoirs that support Palma’s water supply.
Published: April 23, 2026
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.
