Mexican Region Gets First Desalination Plant for Agriculture Use in the Americas – Mexico Weather conditions in San Q1uintin, a region in the northwestern Mexican state of Baja California, are good for growing crops year-round, but the lack of water in the area is forcing farmers to turn to innovative and environmentally friendly technologies, such as desalination, to deal with the problem. The drought that affected San Quintin from 1985 to 2015 caused the amount of land under cultivation to fall from 28,000 hectares (69,135 acres) to 7,889 hectares (19,479 acres), a reduction of 72 percent.

Desalination plant brings relief to Ensenada residents struggling with limited water supply.- Mexico Baja Californiaâs first utility-scale desalination plant has launched operations, supplying 5.7 million gallons a day of converted seawater to municipal water users in the port of Ensenada. The reverse-osmosis facility, which has the capacity to double in size, is seen as a critical piece of infrastructure for Ensenada, whose 390,000 residents have been almost entirely dependent on aquifers for their water supply.

Water plan urges preparation for dry times in New Mexico. New Mexicoâs supply of groundwater should be reserved for periods of drought, communities should have sharing agreements in place when supplies are short and alternatives such as desalination should be explored regardless of the cost. The recommendations are part of the stateâs draft water plan released late Monday. The public will have 30 days to comment on the lengthy document. Updated every five years, the plan acknowledges the growing pressures of drought and climate change on New Mexicoâs drinking and irrigation supplies. Â (LINK).
