I live in Imperial Beach. Like my neighbors, I've watched the beach stay closed, smelled the river on bad nights, and wondered why a problem this visible has been so hard to fix.
When I tried to understand it, the answers were scattered across federal reports, water board filings, U.S.–Mexico agreements, news stories, and scientific research. It took an immense amount of reading to piece together how the system works, where it breaks, and what's actually being done about it.
I built this site so you don't have to start from scratch. Whether you live here, surf here, work on the issue, or just want to help, my goal is to give you a clear picture of the problem and show where your time, voice, or money can make a difference.
