Mexico desal projects move forward despite COVID-19


--
The coronavirus pandemic has not altered plans to construct four desalination plants in Mexico’s northeast, a region with long-running drought problems.

The plants are for the cities of La Paz and Los Cabos in Baja California Sur state, Playas de Rosarito in Baja California state and Puerto Peñasco in Sonora state.

At a combined investment of 12.8bn pesos (US$555mn), the projects were unveiled in November when the government and the private sector presented the first stage of the 2020-21 national infrastructure program.

Its a start. Clean drinking water is a scarce commodity in many places on the globe and indications are its getting scarcer. Technology needs to advance and that hopefully happens as more of these projects get built.

My brother-in-law is a biologist and worked for the City of San Diego for many years in the water department. The last 3-4 years of his career (he retired 10+ years ago) was spent investigating and testing methods to turn sewer water to drinking water. Costs aside they found membranes and methods that actually make the water that came out the end of the hose cleaner then what was coming from other more traditional supplies. The fact that someone coined the phrase 'toilet to tap' set the progress they had been making back a few years but now may water suppliers are doing just that. They call it Pure Water. Words matter.
