Notably, the <strong>recovery<\/strong> of the <strong>Migjorn Demand Unit (DU)<\/strong>, which has returned to a <strong>normal state<\/strong>, is a key development, as this has not occurred since <strong>2023<\/strong>. Currently, <strong>15.1% of the territory<\/strong> (the Migjorn DU) is in <strong>normal state<\/strong>, while <strong>67.1%<\/strong> (including Menorca, Manacor-Felanitx, Palma-Alc\u00fadia, Tramuntana Norte, Tramuntana Sur, and Ibiza) remains on <strong>pre-alert<\/strong>, and <strong>17.8%<\/strong> (Es Pla, Art\u00e0, and Formentera) remains on <strong>alert<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Evolution of reserves by demand units<\/h3>\n<p>In terms of the evolution of reserves by demand units, four units have recorded a decrease: Es Pla, Palma-Alc\u00fadia, Tramuntana Norte, and Tramuntana Sur; while four others have shown a slight increase: Menorca, Manacor-Felanitx, Migjorn, and Formentera. The Art\u00e0 and Ibiza DUs remain stable. The overall demarcation index has slightly risen to 0.367, but it remains below last October&#8217;s value (0.447) and that of two years ago (0.428).<\/p>\n<p>At the island level, <strong>Mallorca<\/strong> maintains a reserve level of <strong>47%<\/strong>, <strong>Menorca<\/strong> registers a <strong>slight increase from 44% to 45%<\/strong>, and <strong>Ibiza<\/strong> experiences a <strong>decrease from 33% to 32%<\/strong>. Overall, water conditions in the Balearic Islands are <strong>less favourable<\/strong> than a year ago.<\/p>\n<h3>A wet October<\/h3>\n<p>According to AEMET data, October was <strong>wet<\/strong> across the Balearic Islands, with an <strong>average of<\/strong> <strong>84.1 l\/m\u00b2<\/strong>, above the usual 72.6 l\/m\u00b2.
