Fundacion La Puerta, Tecate River Restoration Cost Benefit Analysis
Tecate, Mexico
At the request of the Fundacion La Puerta, 7Q10 has prepared a preliminary cost benefit analysis to assess the least cost solution for a proposed river restoration project. Presently there are four options:
- a no action plan
- the proposed alternative of an 11 km concrete lined channel through the town of Tecate (to gain additional land for development purposes)
- a natural restoration project which encompasses a restored riparian/river (with treatment wetlands)
- a hybrid model of alternatives three and four that allow for some concrete lining and some natural restoration techniques.
