Edits for Tijuana River Valley Page

Flooding
The Tijuana River Valley community is at risk of flooding from the Tijuana River. The Tijuana River is considerably polluted with trash, sewage, and other pollutants that threaten the valley community, and the community's environmental resources whenever it floods. Flooding is contained for the most part during dry periods. Yet when it rains the risk of floods and the associated pollution are a significant problem for the Tijuana River Valley. Sediment, sewage, trash and other debris accompanying floods have negative impacts on the Valley's valuable environmental and recreational resources. Area beaches had almost 1,600 closed days because of this pollution between 2007 and 2017, far more than beaches North of the Valley.
