The Our River, Our Water campaign objective is to engage and educate community members so they can get a better understanding of the multiple issues surrounding the Tijuana River Valley in South San Diego city and county, some of which are beneficial in terms of the environmental services only found in that space. Still, others are detrimental to human and ecological health. Information will target the lowest quartile California Healthy Place Index communities most impacted by the current conditions of the Tijuana River and surrounding areas. As part of the campaign, sculptures displayed at various locations will highlight the reasons for the frequent waste-water spills and the opportunities to engage in alternative solutions. The campaign will provide supporting data, historical references, progress made, and opportunities to promote improvement through public participation.
