Appendix (provided separately) Energy and Water Nexus • Baja California Sur is arid region that relies on primarily on precipitation for water resources. • This precipitation becomes groundwater and is collected in aquifers and aquifer systems. • There is a public desalination concession in Los Cabos (2006). A second desalination concession has been proposed for Los Cabos, and an initial concession has been proposed for La Paz. • Many hotels, golf courses and marinas have private desalination and waste water treatment. • Most electricity is generated by diesel generation. • While water resources and desalination are required to support economic growth, renewable energy has a role for water resources.

Desalination and Renewable Energy Public and private desalination projects underway in the Municipality of Los Cabos. Los Cabos Municipality receives water from a desalination project operated under a concession, and a further concession is being considered. A public desalination project operated under a concession is being considered for the Municipality of La Paz. Subject to private finance and concession, Los Cabos is considering renewable energy project. Los Cabos uses hydrocarbons to generate power. Extensive private desalination projects in Los Cabos in tourism sector due to tariffs and water shortfalls. Large and small scale examples of renewable energy and desalination briefly explored. IMPLAN : Los Cabos Desalination Concession Built in 2007 with an investment of $30 Million, it has been financed by the Fondo de Inversión en Infraestructura (FINFRA), a credit by the Banco Nacional de Obras y Servicios Públicos, S.N.C. (BANOBRAS) and Risk Capital Investment by (Grupo OHL). This is the first large scale desalination plant to be constructed in Mexico, and the Los Cabos Plant has a capacity of 17,280 m3/ day, 200 lts/s, which is satisfying the needs of approximately 50,000 persons. This is a reverse osmosis plant. Private Desalination in Los Cabos Municipality Los Cabos Municipality receives water from a desalination project operated under a municipal concession. Private desalination used to meet all or part of water demand for many hotels, resorts, golf courses and marinas located in Cabos San Lucas, San Jose Del Cabos, and the tourism corridor between these two urban centers. Private Desalination in Los Cabos Municipality Desalination: Small Portable Solar Unit Desalination: Small Scale Solar Plant in Oman . Desalination: Large Scale Solar Energy Plant in UAE Integration of Renewable Energy and Desalination Two models are suggested for how renewable energy may be used in public and private desalination projects in Baja California Sur: 1) Separate renewable energy facilities can be developed for each desalination project. This is more feasible for smaller desalination projects with energy storage, which are in an isolated location, or where the desalination technologies can use intermittent renewable energy. 2) Designated renewable energy can be provided from regional or municipal electricity grids and systems. This may be more suitable for larger desalination projects which require more electricity or where the desalination technologies benefit from a more consistent electricity supply.

  • Climate Action Plan for the City of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico: a Tool for Sustainability
    The Sustainable City X 439 Climate action plan for the city of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico: a tool for sustainability A. Ivanova, A. Bermudez & A. Martinez Universidad Autonoma de Baja California Sur, Mexico Abstract As a result of its coastal location and severe water scarcity condition, the city of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, is extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The purpose of this paper is to present the main findings of the Climate Change Action Plan for the City of La Paz and Neighbouring Areas (PACCLAP): first, the vulnerability to climate change and the adaptation measures suggested; and second, the local greenhouse gas emissions inventory and the recommended mitigation measures. In this study the methodology specified in UNEP (2008) was applied, Methodology for Assessment: GEO Cities. Manual for Application, Version 3; UNEP (2009), Training Manual on Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change for Geo Cities, UN-Habitat (2010), Planning for Climate Change: A Resource Guide for Urban Planners and UNEP (2011) IEA Training Manual, Climate Change Vulnerability and Impact Assessment in Cities. The greenhouse gas emissions inventory (LGHGEI) was carried out following the revised 1996 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s guidelines for greenhouse gas inventories (IPCC, 1997a; IPCC, 1997b; IPCC, 1997c). The main results show that the water scarcity is the principal vulnerability for the city, followed by the sea level rise; and that the transport sector must be the priority in the mitigation strategy. The proposed climate actions (e.g. catch of surface water in dams, reduce leakage losses in the water system; efficient fuel use; and, emissions mitigation trough grid connected systems) are directly related to the Municipality Development Plan, thus making the PACCLAP a valuable instrument to support current and future decision makers in the formulation of public policies to foster the sustainability and improve the wellbeing of the local society.

This study provides evidence of the occurrence of this species at the Revillagigedo Archipelago (18899′186′′N 112808′44′′W), Mexico, using acoustic telemetry and videos taken from 2014 to 2016. We report here movements from a coastal location (National Park Cabo Pulmo) to a group of oceanic islands (Revillagigedo Archipelago) by one single individual, supporting the idea of the potential connectivity of sharks between the Gulf of California and the Revillagigedo Archipelago. This report extends the known distribution of N. velox to 400 km off the mainland coast of the Americas, thereby increasing the knowledge of the distribution of a species commonly reported in fishery landings of the Eastern Pacific.

  • Alaska Airlines Files Application to Fly Los Angeles-Havana, Cuba Airline Seeks Governmental Approval to Serve Cuban Capital with Daily Nonstop Service
    Alaska Airlines Files Application to Fly Los Angeles-Havana, Cuba Airline seeks governmental approval to serve Cuban capital with daily nonstop service SEATTLE — Alaska Airlines today filed an application with the U.S. Department of Transportation seeking approval to fly two dailynonstop flights from its Latin America gateway of Los Angeles to Havana, Cuba. The Los Angeles metro area has the largest Cuban-American population in the Western United States. “Together with our 14 global partner airlines, Alaska Airlines offers more than 110 nonstop destinations from Los Angeles. As the largest West Coast-based airline, we’re well positioned to offer our customers convenient access to one of the Caribbean’s most popular destinations,” said John Kirby, Alaska Airlines vice president of capacity planning. Citing Alaska's expansive West Coast route structure and low fares, Kirby said Alaska is excited for the opportunity to offer commercial service from the United States to Havana for the first time in over 50 years. With nearly three decades of international service from Los Angeles, Alaska Airlines offers nonstop service to nine destinations in Latin America with the most peak season flights from Los Angeles to popular Mexican resort destinations including Mazatlán, Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta. Alaska Airlines’ two daytime flights will be attractive to local Los Angeles business, leisure and Cuban American customers, andprovide convenient connecting options for fliers traveling to and from large West Coast cities like Anchorage, Alaska, Portland, Oregon and Seattle. In its application, Alaska is seeking to operate two daily nonstop flights to Havana using a Boeing 737-900ER, which carries 181 passengers in a two-class configuration.
