This service currently delivers three datasets via RESTful APIs which draw data from the New Mexico Environment Department's SDWIS/State database:

• Drinking Water Watch (DWW) samples
• Drinking Water Watch (DWW) violations
• Federal Reporting System (FedRep) facilities

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.

The NMBGMR Groundwater Level Measurements dataset contains water level monitoring data from wells across New Mexico, collected by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (NMBGMR). The dataset includes well locations, construction details (depths, casing, completion dates), and water level measurements with timestamps, providing essential data for groundwater research and aquifer management in New Mexico.

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.

New Mexico Water Use by Categories, developed in 2015 by the Office of the State Engineer. These data represent estimates of water used in various sectors in New Mexico, provided here in several formats.

The Pecos Valley Artesian Conservancy District (PVACD) website for water level reports, graphs and more.

Information and data from the Aquifer Mapping Program (AMP) of the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources.

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 API provides access to the Aquifer Mapping Program's groundwater level and water chemistry database. The database is updated on a semi-regular basis with new manually measured depth to groundwater measurements. Some of the data collected by NMBGMR is private and requires appropriate privileges and authentication for access. All endpoints that begin with /authorized require authentication. At NMBGMR, we use different tools to collect groundwater level measurements, including continuous data recorders and manual measurements. All data provided here are in feet, depth to water, below ground surface (BGS). We use pressure transducers to record pressure of water over a device installed in the well, which is converted to feet of water and depth to water. We provide here up to one measurement per hour where the data are that frequent. In some locations we have more data available. We also use continuous acoustic sounder devices which convert a sound reflection into a measurement of depth to water. These can be used for long term trends in groundwater levels. While we do our best to review and quality check these data, please use these data with caution. Site-specific conditions should be verified, especially for legally binding decisions. Data are subject to changes, deletion, or being moved without notice at any time and should not be relied on for any critical application. Any opinions expressed may not necessarily reflect the official position of the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, New Mexico Tech, or the State of New Mexico. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made regarding the accuracy or utility of the data for general or scientific purposes.

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 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.

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.

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.

Manual, discrete groundwater level measurements from a regional well network around the lower Pecos Valley of New Mexico. Depth to water measurements are collected annually in winter by Office of State Engineer, District 2 Office. Data here begin in 2011.

This dataset represents the current list of "active annual" measurement sites for the NMOSE/USGS network.
