The Tijuana River Valley

Between the border and the beach is a protected wetland, a regional park, and neighborhoods that live with the river. This is what the sewage does when it gets there.

The layout, navigation and links are in place. The words are not, because they have to come from the sources rather than be made up.

What it should cover:

  • What the Tijuana River Estuary is, why it is protected, and what sewage and sediment do to it.
  • The Saturn Boulevard hotspot: what the culverts do to the water and why that releases hydrogen sulfide.
  • What the sediment basins and the trash boom catch, and what gets past them.
  • Which parts of the valley are open to the public and when they are worth avoiding.

Sources to draw on: Water Board border water quality programme, County News Center hydrogen sulfide guidance, KPBS on the Saturn Boulevard fix.
