Specifically, according to data from Palma City Council, the Cúber reservoir is at 52.81% of its capacity and the Gorg Blau reservoir at 72.88%. The previous Monday, after several days of rainfall in the Balearic Islands, the combined water levels of the two reservoirs managed by the municipal company Emaya stood at 59.1%. Cúber was at 48.15% of its capacity and Gorg Blau at 66%. Thus, in one week, the rainfall has led to a combined increase in water levels of 5.7%. The increase was 4.66% for Cúber and 6.88% for Gorg Blau. The water reserves in both reservoirs have also increased compared to the same period last year. On February 3, 2025, the combined reserve was at 49.46%, 15.36% lower than now. Specifically, the reserve in Cúber was at 39.17% and in Gorg Blau at 56.37%, representing decreases of 13.64% and 16.51%, respectively, compared to the beginning of this week. </p>]]></description>

The Balearic Government's Ministry of the Sea and Water Cycle reported that December ended with a further increase in water reserves in the Balearic Islands, reaching 49%, one percentage point higher than in November. Despite this improvement, the current level remains three percentage points below that recorded in the same month of 2014, when reserves reached 52%. By island, Mallorca increased from 48% to 49%; Menorca, from 44% to 46%; and Ibiza, from 47% to 48%, figures that consolidate a positive trend at the end of the year.</p>]]></description>

In a press release, the Ministry of the Sea and the Water Cycle reported that October ended with water reserves at 44% in the Balearic Islands, the same value as the previous month. By island, Mallorca's reserves decreased from 45% to 44%; Menorca's from 41% to 43%; and Ibiza's from 26% to 39%. The overall situation in the archipelago is two percentage points lower than that recorded a year ago (46%). These figures show a notable improvement in Ibiza and Formentera, coinciding with the rainfall associated with Storm Alice. There were no changes in the overall situation compared to the previous month. Thus, only one demand unit (Formentera) remains within the normal scenario, six units (Menorca, Manacor-Felanitx, Migjorn, Palma-Alcúdia, Tramuntana Nord, and Tramuntana Sud) are within the pre-alert scenario, and three (Pla, Artà, and Ibiza) are on alert.</p>]]></description>

This way, the regional government could justify paying the Mancomunidad for truckloads of water, which cost more than €500,000 each year. On the other hand, the Regional Ministry of the Sea and the Water Cycle has committed to launching a subsidy before the end of the year so that the Mancomunidad's towns can meet the additional costs of purchasing water to supply Porreres, Algaida, and, above all, Montuïri.</p>]]></description>
