There are two water resource basin subdivisions of the Northern Mojave–Mono Lake subregion (HUC 1809). Northern Mojave–Mono Lake water resource subregion (HUC 1809) is one of 10 water resource subregions within the California water resource region and is one of 222 water resource subregions in the federally organized United States hydrologic unit system.
Drainage basins include the Antelope Valley watershed, the Mojave watershed, Mono Basin, the Owens River watershed, and the Amargosa River watershed. [3] There are 77 state-recognized alluvial groundwater basins and subbasins in the South Lahontan hydrologic region, underlying approximately 55 percent of the land area. [2]

Lake Mojave in relation to other Pleistocene-era lakes in the region. The Mojave River is the principal river reaching the Lake Mojave basin, [3] and the principal river of the Mojave Desert. [5] Presently, a number of springs on the western side of the Lake Mojave basin form small waterbodies. [5]
California region, with its 10 4-digit subregion hydrologic unit boundaries. The California water resource region is one of 21 major geographic areas, or regions, in the first level of classification used by the United States Geological Survey in the United States hydrologic unit system, which is used to divide and sub-divide the United States into successively smaller hydrologic units.
It formerly was the Mojave River's terminal lake, [5] and received about 1 millimetre per year (0.039 in/year) of sediment. [45] The Coyote Basin was not permanently coupled to the main lake body; its relatively large surface area and consequently high evaporation would have stabilized lake levels when it was connected to Lake Manix proper.

Silverwood Lake is located on the East Branch of the California Aqueduct.It is operated by the California Department of Water Resources and provides a major water source for agencies serving nearby San Bernardino Mountain and Mojave Desert areas.
