**Rosarito’s New Desalination Plant: Transforming Water Access and Boosting Tourism**
Rosarito is poised for a significant transformation as Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has confirmed the construction of a desalination plant in the region. Announced during a recent press conference, this initiative is part of the broader National Water Plan, projected to require an investment of 12 billion pesos (approximately $648 million USD).
“We are committed to making this desalination plant a reality in Baja California,” President Sheinbaum affirmed. Following the announcement, Rosarito’s Mayor RocÃo Adame eagerly shared her excitement on social media, emphasizing the plant’s vital role in enhancing the water supply for South Rosarito and safeguarding the local beaches.
**Towards a Sustainable Future**
The desalination plant, a Greenfield project, will boast a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second, offering a sustainable solution to the region’s ongoing water challenges. According to Proyectos México, the project last underwent a review on March 12, 2025, with support from Banobras and Fonadin.
Rosarito is not just focusing on water infrastructure; it is also making strides in eco-friendly tourism.
