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.

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.

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.

The Energy, Mineral, and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD) information technology office has developed over one hundred APIs to search water and water-related data from the Oil Conservation Division (OCD) and Mining & Minerals Division (MMD) and continuing to expand offerings.

You must be a registered user to access the APIs. The data is the same as other EMNRD search engines, but APIs are easier to automate. Once registered, the EMNRD Water Data API website walks users through creating their own API calls.

Note: The API in API well number and in the energy industry refers to the American Petroleum Institute. The EMNRD Water Data APIs refer to the technology industry and is short for Application Program Interface. These APIs allow software to get (or call) data from a different software system.

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.

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