Alert level for Es Pla: Who saves water — and who pays the price?

Answer

Who is expected to save the most water in Mallorca during drought alerts?

That is one of the key debates on the island. Households, farmers and the tourism sector all use water, but many people argue that large users should reduce consumption first. A fair plan usually means protecting drinking water, then setting clear priorities for agriculture, sports facilities and tourist infrastructure.
