The Government has changed its strategy and is using desalination systems "to the fullest extent" during the winter – the time of year when these facilities were previously shut down – with the aim of "reducing water extraction as much as possible." aquifers "So that they can recover with the rains," reported the Director General of Water Resources, Joan Calafat, this Wednesday. He assured that the Islands are in a "complicated but controlled" situation, although it is 10 points below last year's levels. The Director General pointed out that the Islands' water reserves are on "a clear path to recovery." In this regard, he exemplified that water reserves in Ibiza have increased by 19 percent compared to two months ago "due to the rains, which have raised reserves from 28% to 47%." In Mallorca, the increase has been 4%, and Menorca is the island where the percentage increase has been smallest – from 43% to 44% – due to the rainfall pattern. The Pla de Mallorca and Artà areas remain on alert. Ibiza has moved from alert to pre-alert due to the increase in rainfall. This has reduced the water supply for municipalities that were previously forced to purchase water.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Environment wants to purchase a farm in Mallorca to conduct agricultural research and experimentation, with a maximum budget of six million euros. Farmers complain that this money is not being allocated to the agricultural sector, which, they say, "is suffering from a very large budget deficit."
