The High Desert’s local water supply has been running a deficit for years. More water is being pumped out of the ground than is naturally replenished, a pattern that will have negative consequences to our quality of life if we don’t address it.

To help balance the High Desert’s water “budget,” MWA’s Regional Water Management Plan calls for a reduction in the water consumption by 10% in the Mojave River Basin and 5 % in the Morongo Basin by the year 2020.

But we can’t do it alone. By strictly observing water conservation practices, High Desert residents can not only save money each month on their water bill, they can help MWA and local water purveyors secure a long-term, balanced supply of water for the region.

The High Desert’s future water supply rests in all of our hands.
