The Tijuana River's pollution, stemming from decades of untreated sewage from Mexico, poses a significant threat to the U.S.-Mexico border region.
Its recent ranking as the nation's second most endangered river underscores the urgency of addressing this long-standing environmental issue.
Environmental advocates are pushing for substantial U.S. funding to repair the dilapidated wastewater treatment plant and improve sanitation.
This transboundary pollution crisis necessitates collaborative efforts between the U.S. and Mexico to implement effective and sustainable solutions.
