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.

Protecting our watershed is a shared responsibility. 💚

If you see litter, spills or pollution, help us protect the Mojave River Watershed by reporting it through the Pollution Reporting Form on our website.

Small actions. Big impact.

What an awesome day at the Innovators High Desert Water Summit! 💧

We loved meeting so many curious, engaged students, sharing what protecting the Mojave River Watershed is all about. Between great conversations, learning moments and tons of giveaway prizes, our booth stayed busy all day long.

By the end of the summit, 86 students stepped up and took the pledge - that’s 86 new Stormwater Troopers to help us protect our local watershed. 🙌

Thank you to all the students and teachers who stopped by - it was a blast meeting you!

Ever wonder where rainwater goes after it hits the street? 🌧️
It becomes stormwater – water that can pick up trash, dirt and chemicals along the way, carrying them straight into our Mojave River Watershed. 💧

Want to see how stormwater moves through our cities and what pollutants can end up in our water?
