Mojave Watershed

Mojave Watershed Welcome to the Mojave River Watershed Group! What is MRWG? What is stormwater pollution? Why is stormwater education so important to High Desert residents?

MRWG is an organization dedicated to educating the High Desert community (the City of Hesperia, the City of Victorville, the Town of Apple Valley and other unincorporated areas of the County of San Bernardino) about stormwater pollution prevention. Stormwater pollution, resulting from urban runoff, is a serious issue and is the single biggest environmental threat to the quality of our rivers, lakes and other local waterways. It can have a detrimental effect on public health and harm the well-being of local wildlife. Stormwater pollution is unique in the High Desert due to its geographic make-up. Our watershed flows directly to the Mojave aqueduct which is the direct source of our drinking water. Protecting this precious resource for yourself and your family is vital to our High Desert community. The good news? Stormwater pollution is preventable. Through simple measures, we can reduce stormwater pollution and keep our communities clean. It is up to us to preserve the essence of the Mojave Desert. Learn more about us and how you can get involved at www.mojaveriver.org.

We’re falling for crisp walks and wagging tails 🍁🐶 - but let’s not “leaf” our responsibility behind! Rain can carry pet waste straight into storm drains, where it flows untreated into the Mojave River. 🚫 So grab that bag, scoop the p**p and be a hero for clean water. 💧

It’s beginning to look a lot like cozy season in the High Desert! 🍂Fall looks a little different here along the Mojave River. While wildlife prepares for cooler months ahead, we can do our part to keep the watershed healthy this season.



✅ Sweep (don’t hose) patios and driveways.

✅ Double-check irrigation systems to avoid overwatering as temps drop.

✅ Store fertilizers, paints and chemicals in covered, dry areas.

✅ Add native plants this fall - the cooler season is perfect for planting and reduces runoff year-round.
