Over the past weekend, the Serra de Tramuntana experienced much-needed rainfall, offering a modest reprieve to the concerning water situation in its reservoirs. Despite the ongoing snowfall, which is expected to contribute to an increase in volume, the latest measurements by Emaya reveal a marginal improvement in the accumulated water levels.

As of now, the combined capacity of Gorg Blau and Cúber reservoirs stands at 35.74%, signifying a slight uptick from the records of the preceding weeks. The island of Mallorca had been grappling with a scarcity of rainfall, making the recent precipitation crucial for water replenishment. The current measurement exhibits a 3.17% increase since January 3, when the capacity was at a lower 32.57%.

Breaking down the figures, Cúber reservoir demonstrates a more positive trend with a capacity of 38.5%. Meanwhile, Gorg Blau, which had experienced a dip below 33% in December, has now climbed to 34%.
