Mojave Desert
Relatively, there is not much riverine activity within the Mojave desert. The intermittent Mojave River, which begins on the San Bernardino mountains and disappears deeper into the Mojave Desert flows through the Mojave generally underground. The Amargosa River also flows partly through the Mojave desert along a southward path. The Manix, Mojave, and the Little Mojave lakes, are all large but shallow. Soda Lake is the principal saline basine of the Mojave desert. Natural springs are typically rare throughout the Mojave desert, however, there are two notable springs, Ash Meadows, and Oasis Valley. Ash Meadows is formed from several other springs, which all draw from deep underground. Oasis Valley draws from the nearby Amargosa river.
