Knee-high water at Playa de Palma: What to do about the recurring floods?

Answer

What kind of flood protection does Mallorca need in places like Playa de Palma?

Mallorca needs more than emergency clean-ups if flooding is to be reduced in the long term. Better drainage, retention basins, permeable surfaces and clearer coordination between local authorities are all part of the solution. Without structural investment, the same streets will keep flooding after strong rain.
