Rosarito desalination plant could bring water from ocean to Mexico to US taps
A plan is moving forward to build a massive desalination plant in Rosarito Beach, Mexico which could serve both sides of the border.
Reporter Sandra Dibble wrote about this recently for the San Diego Union Tribune.
She said this wouldn't be the first time a resource like water was shared cross-border. Things like natural gas and energy production are already shared across the border.
The proposed private desalination plant would be twice as big as the one currently being constructed in San Diego.
