SDSU researchers find dangerous levels of pollution in Tijuana River
Alex Grant and two fellow researchers from San Diego State University’s Water Innovation and Reuse Lab spent Monday morning in an area most people would avoid at all costs: the Tijuana River Valley. … The Tijuana River runs from Tijuana northbound across the border into San Diego. “We actually have taken samples from 13 different locations throughout, from the border to where the river outlets into the Pacific Ocean.” Grant said she and other researchers have published several findings about the water contamination in the Tijuana River Valley. “Even during dry conditions like now, when we don’t have any rain, you have constant flow of water coming across the border through the Tijuana River, and much of that water is very polluted,” she said.
