The North American Development Bank (NADBank) marks its 30th anniversary, highlighting its commitment to addressing shared challenges with Mexico, particularly the urgent issue of transboundary sewage pollution in the Tijuana River.
This shows the U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission treatment plant that sits on the border between Mexico and the United States. Sewage is treated in the Tijuana River Valley on Thursday, March 28, 2024 in San Diego, California. Two weeks ago, Jerry Sanders, president of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, announced his retirement.
While this anniversary offers an opportunity to reflect on past accomplishments, our focus remains forward-looking — addressing the pressing concern of improving water resource management, including the chronic environmental pollution caused by transboundary sewage flows from the Tijuana River and northern transoceanic currents.
U.S. federal leaders like the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein championed the cause and now, Sen. Alex Padilla, along with local House members Scott Peters and Juan Vargas, must continue to advocate for increased funding through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Border Water Infrastructure Program. This critical program funds binational water and wastewater projects aimed at reducing and preventing transboundary sewage flows.
Baja California Gov. Marina del Pilar Ávila is also a dedicated partner. Under her leadership, the state government and NADBank have structured a 30-year collaborative initiative funded with in debt to repair wastewater infrastructure, diversify water sources and create incentive systems for local utilities to improve their performance.
