Artificial Wetland Is Reusing Wastewater to Revive a Lost EcosystemLas Arenitas is an artificial oasis that recycles used water from the border city of Mexicali to regenerate ecosystems in the Colorado River delta.Photograph: Pablo RomeroSave this storySaveSave this storySaveIn the arid region south of Mexicali where the pale desert dominates the landscape the Las Arenitas wetland feels like a mirage and is an oasis for endemic and migratory birds that cross the Colorado River delta used water from the city of Mexicali gets a second life in an attempt to revive ecosystems that were thought to be irrecoverable American and Mexican authorities could no longer ignore how bad the problem had become and they began collaborating on infrastructure to lessen the pollution the Las Arenitas treatment plant began operations generates more than 80 million cubic meters of sewage a year with 46 percent of that going to Las Arenitas Mexicali is one of the hottest cities in the world solids and sediments are first removed from the wastewater where air is injected into the water to stimulate the growth of aerobic bacteria which decompose organic matter in the presence of oxygen The water then passes to facultative lagoons where aerobic and anaerobic bacteria complement each other the latter degrading organic matter that the former could not the plant did not perform ideally,” says Edith Santiago deputy director of the Colorado River delta program in Mexicali at the conservation nonprofit the Sonoran Institute some organizations proposed to the water management agency that they should use the surrounding land to create an artificial wetland that would give the water additional cleanliness as well as helping with the city’s sewage problem would also help partially restore the local landscape to its former state Before the overexploitation of the Colorado River its delta crossed Baja California and Sonora until it met the waters of the Gulf of California resulting in more than 400,000 hectares of wetlands Although the river’s course has become a ghost about 15 percent of those wetlands have survived harboring an invaluable biodiversity of plants and animals the Las Arenitas artificial wetland is a pause to the devastation of the local landscape deputy director of the Colorado River delta program in Mexicali at the Sonoran Institute they replaced obsolete equipment and made repairs to the plant “Wetlands are the kidneys of the planet—they help to filter and clean the water to remove particles through the different plants,” explains Santiago and it occurs both underground in the roots of tule and alkaline reed but also on the surface of the wetland waters where microorganisms that degrade pollutants live Microscopic life within the wetlands cleanses the water in diverse ways such as by transforming nitrogen into other substances and by assimilating phosphorus into its own biomass physical processes such as sedimentation occur in which smaller particles fall to the bottom of the water body The Revive the Colorado River Alliance reports that 50 percent of the water leaving the wetland flows into the Hardy River The wetlands’ battle to maintain their balance is titanic as the water treatment plant has been operating above capacity since 2013 The plant has an installed capacity of 840 liters per second but it reaches 1,044 liters per second in some months is yet to happen—though it has been on the table for more than five years It’s possible to smell when the wetland ecosystem is out of kilter: The decomposition of organic matter there can generate unpleasant odors when these systems are under stress or out of balance Assessing the quality of the treatment system’s discharges is costly and Santiago points out that there are two key things that could improve the processing of the water here further still: “Implementing better water use in the city and new technology such as activated sludge in the plant which uses less space than the lagoons and is faster.” The Las Arenitas complex has transformed 99 hectares into a wetland it was agreed that 30 percent of its annual water volume would flow along the Hardy River to the south for environmental use—that is but also for the benefit of local communities The amount flowing into the Hardy River has now risen to 50 percent “That the water from Las Arenitas flows along the Hardy River generates environmental potential; many species of birds and other wildlife use this area or live in it,” says Santiago Plants in wetlands help the process through phytoremediation the first bird census in the area yielded about eight species and fewer than 100 birds in total highlighted the system’s high potential for regulating water flows The city of Mexicali depends on the Colorado River and its underground water reserves but it uses water at an unsustainable rate Annual recharge of the Mexicali Valley aquifer is 520.5 cubic hectometers (hm3) but more water is withdrawn from this underground store each year than reenters it (783.12 hm3) the Colorado River is being squeezed to exhaustion and is approaching a collapse that climate change is accelerating but drastically more needs to be done to balance the region’s water use “My dream for Las Arenitas is that the community will come to enjoy it that there will be better water use in our homes so that less water reaches this area in poor conditions,” Santiago says This story originally appeared on WIRED en Español and has been translated from Spanish In your inbox: Will Knight's AI

conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking When I first moved to Mexico City three and a half years ago a bit offended by the “Chinese food” on offer The city’s Chinatown is filled with buffet-style restaurants offering low-priced meals and menus filled with nothing but spring rolls As a chef from China’s southwestern Yunnan province I hoped to introduce a more nuanced interpretation of Chinese cuisine to the Mexican capital the more I felt like something essential was missing from the country’s Chinese food scene I found it in Mexicali — a hub of Chinese-Mexican cuisine near the border with the United States The Chinese community in Mexico is primarily concentrated in Mexicali and Mexico City tens of thousands of Chinese immigrants arrived in California where they found work building the railroads Faced with the United States’ exclusionary Chinese immigration laws many later settled just south of the border The capital of the Baja California state, Mexicali is known locally as “the city that captures the sun.” It has an extremely hot desert climate, with temperatures reaching up to 50 degrees Celsius. Despite these harsh conditions, Chinese immigrations managed to establish successful farms in the region helping transform Mexicali into a Chinese cultural hub there were 14 times as many Chinese residents in Mexicali as native Mexicans After Mexico enacted its own discriminatory policies in the 1930s the Chinese community in Mexicali formed the resilient enclave known as La Chinesca Although Mexico’s Chinese population fell sharply in the 1930s preserved La Chinesca’s heritage and laid the foundation for the city’s distinctive culinary landscape The fusion of Chinese and Mexican flavors was initially a practical response to local conditions but it has since become a symbol of cultural exchange and community-building that continues to shape the region’s food culture today I noticed stone lions and lanterns marking the entrances to its numerous Chinese restaurants Mexicali boasts the highest density of Chinese dining options in Mexico captures the essence of Chinese-Mexican fusion rooted in Cantonese techniques but tailored to local tastes with meals consisting of four to six dishes — including soups such as its iconic “chop suey” with red-dyed meat further reflects regional adaptations made by generations of chefs filled with the clatter of woks and the aroma of soy sauce Its approach — emphasizing quick preparation and sweet and sour sauces — mirrors the practical needs of early Chinese immigrants while incorporating local ingredients like beef resulting in a cuisine that feels both familiar and distinct There are also signs of something new brewing in the region a modest eatery that immediately piqued my curiosity A glowing Google Maps review caught my eye: “The best char siu I’ve tried outside of Vancouver” — a city renowned for its authentic Cantonese cuisine “I haven’t met someone from China for a while,” she admitted a native of the southern Chinese province of Guangdong followed her husband to Mexicali a decade ago Her restaurant stands out with a menu focused on Cantonese staples: steamed dim sum and dumplings — all prepared fresh in the kitchen by the entrance She often travels to California to source authentic ingredients unavailable at Mexicali markets “He trained in Guangdong before joining me here I wanted to create a place where the flavors of home remain intact.” Each bite was a perfect balance between lean meat and fat she offered me a classic walnut cookie — a crunchy treat that instantly transported me back to my childhood Chieng’s Bistro preserves authentic Cantonese traditions while standing as a testament to the evolving identity of Chinese regional cuisine in Mexicali That’s a feeling I’ve been chasing since I arrived in Mexico starting from the first pop-up wine tastings I organized in Mexico City to the Chinese tapas bistro I opened in the city two years ago I decided to take a chance of my own: adding small-pot noodles In addition to the classic noodles floating in bone broth we offer diners the option of topping it with moronga a kind of Mexican blood sausage — my attempt at fusing the flavors of Chinese and Mexican cuisine I’ve come to appreciate the history and techniques of Mexican-Chinese food but the chefs who make it are inheritors of a long tradition of adaptation and resilience it’s important to look beyond simplistic labels like “authenticity” and recognize that the food I grew up with is just one thread in the rich tapestry that is Chinese cuisine Editor: Cai Yiwen;
