Looking for inspiration for your own water-wise landscape? Our partners at the Morongo Basin Conservation Association recently highlighted a creative DIY wildlife fountain featured in their Desert-Wise Landscape Tour.

Water-wise landscaping doesn't have to mean sacrificing beauty or habitat. Thoughtful features like this can help support local wildlife while complementing a desert-friendly yard.

Check out their video tour for ideas and inspiration, then tell us: What is your favorite feature in a water-wise landscape?

Fun fact: An adult tortoise can store more than 40% of its body weight in water. Never scare, pick up or turn a tortoise upside down. That may cause them to lose that life-saving water.

We loved sharing these facts and more with the families who attended Victor Elementary School District's recent college and career fair with the help of some live baby tortoises from the California Turtle and Tortoise Club.

Today, Mojave Water Agency officially broke ground on the West Victorville Groundwater Banking Pilot Test Project, an important investment in the High Desert's water future.

This 40-acre facility is designed to expand groundwater recharge capacity, allowing imported State Water Project supplies to be stored underground during wet years and available when needed during future droughts. Once operational, the project is expected to add an estimated 12,000 to 18,000 acre-feet of annual recharge capacity and provide valuable data that will help guide future groundwater banking efforts throughout the region.

Thank you to our Board of Directors, staff, project partners, elected officials, contractors, engineers, and community stakeholders who joined us to celebrate this milestone. Together, we are building a more resilient water future for the communities we serve.
