The water reserves of the Balearic Islands have increased by one percentage point during the month of October, going from 36% to 37%, according to data published by the Ministry of the Sea and the Water Cycle. The improvement has occurred in Mallorca and Menorca, while Ibiza maintains the same level of reserves as in September, at 33%.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the Balearic Islands entered a new phase of economic growth with a territory already under considerable strain. 25 years later, the islands' landscape tells a story of contrasts: more protected areas and greater environmental awareness, but also increased human pressure, fewer natural resources, and the increasingly visible effects of climate change.
