Description: The Tijuana River Watershed is a binational watershed on the westernmost portion of the US/Mexico border, encompassing much of the Municipality of Tijuana in Mexico and portions of the City and County of San Diego in the United States.
Inadequate infrastructure for the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater originating in Tijuana has long plagued the Municipality, as wastewater flows have chronically outpaced the ability of the infrastructure to handle them.
Gravity and topographic regime of the region have allowed transboundary surface water pollution to negatively impact the lower reaches of the watershed, posing risks to human and environmental health on both sides of the border.
