## Rosarito’s New Desalination Plant: Revolutionizing Water Supply and Tourism
In a significant development for the region, Rosarito is set to welcome its own desalination plant, as announced by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum during a recent press conference. This project, part of the National Water Plan, will move forward with an estimated budget of 12 billion pesos (approximately $648 million USD).
“We are committed to making the desalination plant in Baja California a reality,” President Sheinbaum asserted.
Rosarito’s Mayor Rocío Adame expressed enthusiasm about the announcement, citing the plant’s potential benefits for the local community. “This project will be key to improving the water supply in South Rosarito and protecting our beaches,” she shared via social media.
### A Greener Future for Rosarito
The plant is classified as a Greenfield project and will boast a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second, promising a sustainable water supply for the region. The initiative has received backing from financial institutions such as Banobras and Fonadin, as noted in the latest review by Proyectos México on March 12, 2025.
Beyond enhancing water infrastructure, Rosarito is also advancing its tourism and sustainability efforts. The local administration, led by Mayor Adame, is working to achieve the National Tourism Quality Certification. This accolade reflects high standards and environmental responsibility across Mexico’s tourist destinations.
“This certification recognizes quality and sustainability in tourism,” explained Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito.
With major infrastructure projects and a strong emphasis on eco-friendly tourism, Rosarito is positioning itself as a leader in regional development.
