Border agency seeks solutions with Mexico on water, sewage problems
From one end of the U.S.-Mexico border to the other, water and wastewater infrastructure are perennial problems. In the Rio Grande Valley, farmers are running out of time to get more water from Mexico for their crops. In Imperial Beach, California, residents are fed up with raw sewage flowing over the border from Tijuana. The Colorado River states and Mexico are haggling over limited water. In the final weeks of Joe Biden’s presidency, the administration’s record on border environmental issues is still up for debate. Some will remember the record infrastructure investments that allowed many border residents to have drinking water in their homes for the first time. Or the agreements the U.S. struck with Mexico to share Colorado River and Rio Grande water. Others are left with the stench of sewage in their noses, as the flows from Tijuana into South Bay California continue unabated and solutions are still months or years away.
