About the mojave river


The Mojave River is a 110-mile-long stream in California, USA, that flows from the San Bernardino Mountains through the Mojave Desert and eventually into the Mojave River Reservoir. The river has been an important resource for indigenous people for thousands of years and played a significant role in the transportation of goods during the gold rush era. The river is fed by several springs and tributaries, including Deep Creek and Cedar Springs. The Mojave River Reservoir and the Jess Ranch Reservoir are two major dams on the river that provide water for irrigation and domestic use. The river supports agriculture in the Mojave Valley and provides recreational opportunities such as camping, hiking, and fishing. However, the river is facing a range of environmental threats, including groundwater depletion, pollution, and invasive species.
