Binational Resilience Initiative- Water Grants

The San Diego Foundation
Private
Imperial County, California, Mexico +1 more
Up to US $100,000

Binational Resilience Initiative

The Binational Resilience Initiative (BRI) builds resilience in the Cali-Baja region by supporting binational projects that strengthen the capacity of our communities to adapt to the impacts of our changing climate. A partnership of San Diego Foundation (SDF), International Community Foundation (ICF), Resilient Cities Catalyst (RCC), and the San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative (SDRCC), we are leading an innovative, community-driven process that recognizes the interdependent environmental, economic, and cultural assets in San Diego and northern Baja California and strengthens resilience by addressing climate vulnerabilities through binational collaboration and localized solutions.

Water Grants

In San Diego and Tijuana, water treatment facilities have not been expanded at a pace that matches urban expansion. The BRI Water Grants further advances a water resilience strategy that supports the health of our communities and helps sustain water resources for the future.

Building Water Resilience

The Cali-Baja region’s continuous population growth, coupled with more frequent and extreme weather events, has placed considerable strain on the region’s natural areas and the capacity of municipal agencies to provide waste and recycling services in underserved communities. In San Diego and Tijuana, water treatment facilities have not been expanded at a pace that matches urban expansion. As a result, raw urban discharges are flowing into the river floodplain with sediment, solid waste, and polluted urban effluent being discharged to the Tijuana River, its estuary, and the ocean.

The worsening conditions of the Tijuana River are an emerging environmental threat impacting the health of local communities on both sides of the border. The quality of river flows impacts the quality of life and the health of people living near the impaired river stream, the estuary, and the surrounding coastal areas.

The Funding Opportunity

Through BRI, we are building a coordinated pooled-funding model to invest in watershed-wide binational projects that complement infrastructure investments made by federal governments in the United States and Mexico. BRI can advance water resilience projects through these priority focus areas:

  • Tijuana River Restoration (transboundary river)
  • Pollution Reduction (binational approach)
  • Water Conservation Measures in the Tijuana River region to protect our Colorado River water supply
