**Rosarito’s Desalination Plant Approved: Revolutionizing Water Supply and Boosting Tourism**
Rosarito is set to welcome its own desalination plant, confirmed by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum during a recent press conference. The ambitious project, a key component of the National Water Plan, has secured an investment estimated at 12 billion pesos (approximately $648 million USD). “Yes, we are going to build it… We will make the desalination plant in Baja California a reality,” announced Sheinbaum.
Rosarito’s Mayor, Rocío Adame, expressed her excitement following the announcement. “The desalination plant is happening! This project will play a crucial role in enhancing the water supply for South Rosarito and preserving our beaches,” she shared on social media platforms.
**A Sustainable Vision for Rosarito**
As a Greenfield project, the plant will boast a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second, providing a sustainable water source for the region. According to recent evaluations by Proyectos México, last reviewed on March 12, 2025, the initiative is supported by Banobras and Fonadin.
In addition to revamping water infrastructure, Rosarito is making strides in tourism and sustainability. Mayor Adame’s administration is pursuing the National Tourism Quality Certification, which signifies exemplary standards and environmental responsibility for destinations throughout Mexico.
“This certification is a comprehensive recognition of quality and sustainability in tourism,” explained Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito.
With significant infrastructure investments and a focus on eco-friendly tourism, Rosarito is poised to emerge as a leader in regional development.
