Water alarm in Mallorca: Seven municipalities turn off the tap — is saving alone enough?

Answer

Why are water restrictions being introduced in parts of Mallorca?

Several municipalities in Mallorca are limiting drinking water use because low rainfall, higher demand, and ageing infrastructure are putting pressure on supply. In some places, the problem is made worse by leaks in the network and by summer tourism. The restrictions are meant to protect household supply and reduce the strain on local water systems.
