**Rosarito’s New Desalination Plant: A Boon for Water Supply and Tourism**
Rosarito is poised to address its water challenges with the confirmation of a new desalination plant. Announced by Mexico’s President, this initiative is part of the broader National Water Plan and represents a significant investment of 12 billion pesos (approximately $648 million USD).
“We are committed to making this desalination plant in Baja California a reality,” proclaimed President Sheinbaum during a recent press conference.
Rosarito’s Mayor Rocío Adame was quick to celebrate the announcement, expressing on social media that the desalination plant marks a substantial step towards enhancing water supply for South Rosarito while simultaneously preserving the city’s pristine beaches.
**Towards a Sustainable Rosarito**
The planned desalination facility, designated as a Greenfield project, boasts a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second. This will secure a consistent and sustainable water supply for the region. Backed by Banobras and Fonadin, the project recently underwent a review on March 12, 2025, according to information from Proyectos México.
Beyond infrastructure, Rosarito is setting sights on becoming a leader in eco-friendly tourism. Mayor Adame’s administration aims to achieve the National Tourism Quality Certification, which endorses high standards and environmental commitment for destinations throughout Mexico.
“This certification is a significant acknowledgment of quality and sustainability in tourism,” stated Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito.
With substantial infrastructure improvements and a resolute focus on sustainable tourism, Rosarito is on a path to becoming a prominent figure in regional development.
