The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (NMBGMR) Pecos Valley Pilot - WaterSMART data inventory provides a comprehensive catalog of 6,911 current and historical groundwater level, precipitation, stream gage, and water quality monitoring locations from a variety of organizations throughout the Pecos Valley region in New Mexico. Compiled by the ISC - Pecos Bureau, this inventory documents precise geographic coordinates, monitoring types, and data access URLs for groundwater level stations linked to the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer's database. Each entry includes location-specific metadata and notes referencing the Seven Rivers area, serving as an essential reference tool for researchers, water managers, and policymakers working on groundwater assessment and management in the Pecos Valley watershed.

The Petroleum Recovery Research Center (PRRC), the only research center of its kind in New Mexico, is a scientific research organization dedicated to solving problems related to the oil and gas industry.

This is a subset of the the DW_Sources layer from the Drinking Water Bureau used by the Surface Water Quality Bureau.

These layers comprise active and inactive permits for public water utilities.

USGS data and tools are the digital information in a format suitable for direct input to software that can analyze its meaning in the scientific, engineering, or business context for which the data were collected.

This is a dataset downloaded from the USGS for water use in New Mexico in 2015. data are from the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer.

USGS Real Time Water Data for New Mexico includes streamflow, groundwater, lake and reservoir, precipitation, and water quality data. Real-time data typically are recorded at 15-60 minute intervals, stored onsite, and then transmitted to USGS offices every 1 to 4 hours, depending on the data relay technique used.

Currently, users can either view this data directly in a web browser, though this can be confusing to users who do not understand the SensorThings API (https://newmexicowaterdata.org/faq/#sensorthingsapi) structure. Users who have some programming knowledge can also query this data with the Python programming language following this tutorial (https://developer.newmexicowaterdata.org/help). Development is currently underway for applications that more easily allow general users to query and visualize this data.

The New Mexico Water Use by Categories report (Report) is prepared once every five years by the Water Use and Conservation Bureau of the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer. The purpose of the Report is to provide the public with comprehensive and useful water use data. The Report contains statewide water use data for the 2020 calendar year. Water withdrawals in New Mexico counties and river basins were tabulated for nine water use categories. Categories labeled “Self-Supplied” include water users who withdrew water directly from a groundwater or surface water source for individual use, but not water users who received their water from a public water supplier.

1. Public Water Supply

2. Self-Supplied Domestic

3. Irrigated Agriculture

4. Self-Supplied Livestock

5. Self-Supplied Commercial

6. Self-Supplied Industrial

7. Self-Supplied Mining

8. Self-Supplied Power

9. Reservoir Evaporation

Each water use category is defined in the chapters of this Report. The general procedures used to quantify withdrawals are presented in a step-by-step format.

This dataset includes periodic water level exports and well construction information for CABQ landfill monitoring wells. Groundwater monitoring activities consist of groundwater sampling collection and measuring hydrologic parameters. The monitoring program provides consistent and representative data aimed at assessing the chemical water quality of Albuquerque's underground aquifer. It determines spatial and temporal trends in water quality. Approximately 170 samples are collected from Environmental Services Division wells an an annual basis. Water table elevations are also measured to track short and long term hydrologic changes.

The information gathered through the groundwater monitoring program is used to assess the groundwater resource, project future conditions of, address contamination concerns, and provide the information necessary to protect our underground aquifer. It is available and shared with local, state and federal organizations.

Water Use Program inventories surface and groundwater withdrawals and depletions by category, county, and river basin. The bureau maintains water-use databases and analyzes crop, weather, and water-use data.

This is Reclamation’s new hydrologic database access portal. These new tools are designed to replace the Data Retrieval apps below, as they begin to reach the end of their functional lifespans. We encourage everyone to take a look at our new and improved access portal and begin plans to transition to this improved data delivery source.

The Office of the State Engineer Declared Groundwater Basin map layer closely follow the legal desciptions. However, these boundaries are approximations. For a more accurate description please refer to Article 7 of the "Rules and Regulations Governing the Appropriation and Use of Ground Water in New Mexico." A Declared Groundwater Basin is an area declared by the State Engineer to be underlain by a groundwater source with reasonably defined boundaries. By declaration the State Engineer assumes jurisdiction over the appropriation and use of groundwater from that source.

This is a point coverage of dams in the New Mexico, which originally was derived from the national inventory of dams data base (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1982). The coverage includes locations of and selected characteristics of approximately 2,700 reservoirs and controlled natural lakes that have normal capacities of at least 5,000 acre-feet or maximum capacities of at least 25,000 acre-feet and that were completed as of January 1, 1988.
