Answer

Why does snow in the Tramuntana matter for Mallorca’s water supply?

Snow in the Tramuntana melts slowly and feeds the streams that flow toward the reservoirs. That makes it more valuable than a short burst of rain, because it can add water over a longer period. In Mallorca, that slow release is especially important for dry months ahead.
