Sóller in the water crisis: reserves now only for about ten days — how the municipality must respond

Answer

Why does Sóller run low on water so quickly?

The shortage in Sóller is caused by a mix of hot, dry weather and longer-term structural problems. Old pipes can lose water through leaks, while seasonal demand rises sharply in summer because of hotels, gardens, and pools. Agriculture in the valley also depends on reliable supply, which makes the pressure on reserves even greater.
