Abstract
For the last 20 years Mexico has been gradually installing desalination plants for a diversity of purposes. Within the Mexican government desalination acitivities have been promoted by two agencies. The first has been responsible for desalination in service of better quality water for power generation while in the alternate the emphasis has been in brackish and saline water conversion for community potable and consumer related water supplies. The private sector has in most instances also relied on the government agencies for satisfying of industrial needs but not to the exclusion of private industry desalination plant construction. The paper presents the facts on accomplishments here. It comments on the effectiveness of the approach utilized by the government agencies active in the field and on the possible and potential impact of the use of desalination by the private sector.
