**Rosarito’s Desalination Plant: Transforming Water Supply and Boosting Tourism**
Rosarito is on the brink of a major transformation with the announcement of a new desalination plant. Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed this significant development during a recent press conference, highlighting its alignment with the National Water Plan. This ambitious venture represents an estimated 12 billion pesos ($648 million USD) investment.
President Sheinbaum affirmed the project’s commitment, stating, “Yes, we are going to build it… We will make the desalination plant in Baja California a reality.” The announcement was met with enthusiasm by Rosarito’s Mayor RocÃo Adame, who took to social media to express her excitement. “The desalination plant is happening! This project will be key to improving water supply in South Rosarito and protecting our beaches,” she posted.
**A Step Towards Sustainability**
Classified as a Greenfield project, the desalination plant will boast a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second, guaranteeing a sustainable water supply for the region. Backed by Banobras and Fonadin, the latest project review was conducted on March 12, 2025, according to Proyectos México.
Beyond its water infrastructure, Rosarito is also making strides in tourism and sustainability. Mayor Adame’s administration is keenly pursuing National Tourism Quality Certification, aiming to secure a seal of approval for outstanding standards and environmental responsibility across Mexico’s destinations. “This certification is a comprehensive recognition of quality and sustainability in tourism,” explained Paul Corona RodrÃguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito.
With these infrastructure investments and an eco-friendly tourism strategy, Rosarito is set to emerge as a national leader in regional development.
