Water board set to vote on desalination plant – Mexico
A source with knowledge of the proposal said the proposed desalination plant would be located on the Sea of Cortez in Mexico and the water would be pumped to Arizona, not traded in exchange for more Colorado River water as has been previously speculated. The proposal includes a first phase providing an estimated 300,000 acre-feet of water with two possible additional phases, the source said. The project, which would require federal approval, would also utilize solar power.Â
