INTRODUCTION

  • The Municipality of Tijuana has among its current projects the rehabilitation of Arroyo Alamar, tributary of the Tijuana river.

  • The project will satisfy a host of urban-planning needs, such as the preservation of riparian areas, flood management, planned land use, recreation, landscaping, and replenishment of groundwater.

  • The project encompasses the 10-km reach of Arroyo Alamar, located between the bridge on the toll road to Tecate, and the channelized reach near the confluence with the Tijuana river.

  • A hydrological study to determine design flood magnitudes has been completed in a FY2000 SCERP-funded project.

  • This study continues the hydrological study to its next logical step, i.e., the development of a hydroecological characterization aimed at determining flood levels that are congruent with the proposed land uses.
