The Alluvium Project
A circular-economy and environmental restoration initiative for Mexico and the U.S.–Mexico border region, focused on the rivers and watersheds that connect both countries.
Where Rivers Meet the Circular Economy
“Alluvium” is the sediment and material a river carries and deposits as it moves — a fitting name for a project built on the idea that what flows through a watershed, from plastic waste to industrial runoff, can be intercepted, recovered, and put back to productive use rather than left to degrade the border region’s rivers, wetlands, and coastlines.
The Alluvium Project works alongside the Tijuana River Project and Building Bridges Through Rotary to connect river-corridor and watershed stewardship efforts across the borderlands with the technology, funding, and partnerships needed to scale them.
Part of a Larger Network
The Alluvium Project doesn’t work alone. It sits inside a family of Rotary- and ESRAG-affiliated initiatives, each contributing a different piece of the border region’s environmental and humanitarian picture:
RiverRecycle
Technology partner operating large-scale river plastic recycling and collection operations.
Monarchs Without Borders
Continental hub for monarch butterfly conservation across the migratory range.
Building Bridges Through Rotary
Rotary-led network advancing water, health, education, and environmental service across the border.
EarthX Environmental Experience
Convening platform connecting global environmental leaders and investors.
The 7 Seas Foundation
Financial catalyst funding the wider network’s restoration and humanitarian projects.
Tijuana River Project
Restoring the Tijuana River Estuary from decades of transboundary pollution.
Get Involved
The Alluvium Project is looking for environmental and community initiatives, subject matter experts, strategic partners, and funders working on river and watershed restoration across the border region.
