### Rosarito’s Desalination Plant: A Major Advancement for Water Supply and Tourism
Rosarito is gearing up for a significant development as the construction of its own desalination plant has been officially confirmed. Announced by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum, the project is part of the National Water Plan and represents a substantial investment of 12 billion pesos (approximately $648 million USD). “We are committed to making the desalination plant in Baja California a reality,” Sheinbaum declared during a recent press conference.
Rosarito’s Mayor RocÃo Adame was quick to express her enthusiasm, sharing on social media, “The desalination plant is happening! This project will be crucial for enhancing water supply in South Rosarito and safeguarding our beaches.”
### Ensuring a Sustainable Future
This ambitious Greenfield project will have a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second, guaranteeing a sustainable water supply for the region. Supported by Banobras and Fonadin, the initiative was last reviewed on March 12, 2025, according to Proyectos México.
Apart from bolstering water infrastructure, Rosarito is making significant strides in tourism and sustainability. Mayor Adame’s administration is actively pursuing the National Tourism Quality Certification, a recognition that ensures destinations across Mexico adhere to high standards and environmental responsibility. Paul Corona RodrÃguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito, explained, “This certification is a comprehensive recognition of quality and sustainability in tourism.”
With these major infrastructure investments and a strong commitment to eco-friendly tourism, Rosarito is poised to become a leading example of regional development.
