**Rosarito’s Desalination Plant: Revolutionizing Water Supply and Boosting Tourism**
Rosarito is gearing up for the construction of its own desalination plant, a development announced by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum during a recent press briefing. As part of Mexico’s National Water Plan, the project is set to proceed with a significant investment of 12 billion pesos (approximately $648 million USD).
President Sheinbaum confidently declared, “We are going to make the desalination plant in Baja California a reality.” Rosarito’s Mayor, Rocío Adame, expressed her excitement about the project, emphasizing its importance for improving water supply in South Rosarito and safeguarding the local beaches. She heralded the news via social media, affirming that “The desalination plant is happening!”
**A Sustainable Future for Rosarito**
This groundbreaking plant, designated as a Greenfield project, will boast a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second. Such a capacity promises a sustainable water supply for the region, crucial for both the environment and residents. The project, supported by Proyectos México, underwent its latest review on March 12, 2025, with backing from Banobras and Fonadin.
In addition to water infrastructure, Rosarito is also advancing in the tourism sector by pursuing the National Tourism Quality Certification. This certification endorses high standards and environmental responsibility for tourist destinations across Mexico. Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito, remarked, “This certification is a comprehensive recognition of quality and sustainability in tourism.”
With these substantial infrastructure investments and a strong emphasis on eco-friendly tourism, Rosarito is poised to become a leader in regional development.
