This video failed to address the fact that the estuary’s watershed is 60-70% in Mexico where it collects fertilizer and sewage waste before entering the estuary. Also the reason it can’t be drained as someone suggested is because this is the largest undisturbed wetland left in California and the bird species there can’t just “move”, it’s an ecosystem. Plus it provides irrigation on the US side as well.
The San Diego river which runs through Mission Valley in San Diego is inundated with sewage and communicable disease including Hepatitis A from the numerous homeless encampments along it’s course.
Same issue with the "New River" in Imperial County... the water flows through Mexicali and brings all kinds of sewage and diseases as it enters into the United States.
this problem is making all of us in san diego sick. i can smell the disgusting toxic sewage from san ysidro-->imperial beach-->eastlke--> point loma. Produce in grocery stores smell like it. most food in local grocery stores smell like the stench! San Diego is rotting because of this problem. so thank you Voice of San Diego or brinng attention to the issue. we are unfortunately victims of international pollution of the river, only because it happens to pass through a city that choses to dump its waste on to our oceans/land and make us sick from it. if you live in any of the listed areas you KNOW what i am talking about. The kids in our neighborhood havent been out because the air has been toxic almost 20hrs/day! smell your local grocery stores and check your produce like onions, eggs and such. i wish everyone be safe from this and run as far away as possible from it so you are not victims of it. please keep your families safe and buy a hepa air flter as we did. hopeflly we can fix this problem, we deserve clean air, this is ridiculous.
Yeah dude I spent the last 8 years in IB/Chula Vista area, the produce doesn’t stink and the kids are still playing outside last I checked 😂😂 I know we have a serious environmental problem down at the border but it’s not as bad as you’re making it out to be.
Mexico needs to take accountability for being a failure are almost everything and the U.S need to take responsibility for not keeping Mexico accountable.
Mother Earth 🙄 two countries stuck together. Duh 😆 what do y’all expect 😂😂😂 Affecting the US? Oh well, pay and fix it. Lol I pay too much taxes. Fix it rápido! 🙌🏻😂 #SanDieganResident
I've been hearing this for 40 years and we'll be hearing it for 40 more.

Scew the birds, kids are getting poisoned and people are dying now.
This is why I will never swim at imperial beach that water is so nasty

Very true doesn’t even come close to the severity of the problem in Mexico…
Guys it's simple... we drink the water
Lol this got me

I hear you say both countries are “responsible”, but only one is culpable (Mexico). Let’s not forget to mention that
True, but if they want to solve this, they are going to have to pay mexico

Hopefully we find a solution soon!
Biggest environmental issue in the region you mean Nation
What can we do.
Sucks fishing the islands most the fish are too toxic to eat
This is governed by the 1944 water treaty with Mexico.
Fossil fuel use , what a joke !!!
Yeah, what was that all about? I couldn’t see the connection. 😒
This is a long going issue and years and years of “plans” never get off the ground and will never get resolved🙁😖
Rerouted the damn thing
The US wanted all the rain water and what ever comes with it
Mexico needs to take accountability for being a failure are almost everything and the U.S need to take responsibility for not keeping Mexico accountable.
Waste management isn't much of a thing down there.
We do our fair share of polluting our own waters. We love to pretend we are innocent and look for others to blame.
Makes sense why it smelled horrible when I went to San Diego lol!!
Only a sick person would think this scenario is funny.
Que decepción Yo creia que era un río limpio creo que porqué es un parque nacional.
The Tijuana River Valley is a wildlife preserve. No where near being a National Park. There is no wildlife.
Dr. Olestro Montezuma is responsible for this.
Pretending that we can go on as we are will only make the eventual adjustment more painful. Anthony Lewis.

Build a dam at the source and let that shit become a giant cesspool in a cesspool of a city.
How about you just drain the river? I rather have a couple of birds not have a home then hearing this all the time
