### Rosarito’s New Desalination Plant: A Catalyst for Local Development
Rosarito is set to enhance its water supply solutions with the approval of a new desalination plant. The announcement was made by President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, indicating a strong commitment to the National Water Plan with a significant investment of approximately 12 billion pesos (around $648 million USD).
During a recent press conference, President Sheinbaum expressed confidence in the project’s progress: “We are moving forward and will bring this essential development to Baja California,” she stated. The plant will have a capacity of producing 2,200 liters per second, greatly benefiting the water needs of South Rosarito.
Celebrating the initiative, Rosarito’s Mayor, Rocío Adame, took to social media to express her enthusiasm: “The desalination plant is no longer just a plan; it’s happening! This project will be crucial in ensuring a stable water supply and preserving our beautiful beaches.”
### A Green and Prosperous Future
Classified as a Greenfield project, this development is not only about improving water infrastructure but also about promoting sustainable growth in the region. Recent evaluations by Proyectos México, carried out on March 12, 2025, have shown solid support, with organizations like Banobras and Fonadin backing the venture.
Rosarito is also focusing on tourism and sustainability initiatives, with Mayor Adame’s administration pushing for the National Tourism Quality Certification. This accreditation promises to uphold high standards and environmentally responsible practices across Mexican destinations. Paul Corona Rodríguez, the president of COTUCO Rosarito, highlighted the importance of this certification: “It serves as a comprehensive recognition of quality and sustainability in tourism.”
The combination of robust infrastructure investments and a commitment to eco-friendly tourism positions Rosarito well on the path to becoming a leader in regional development.
