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.

Source Water is the raw, untreated supply of water from surface water or groundwater used for current or future drinking water.

Source Water protection reduces the risk of water getting contaminated. It is a very efficient and cost saving way to protect the safety and long-term use of safe drinking water for our communities.

Source Water Protection Program works with water systems and communities on source water planning and partners with other state, federal, local entities for special projects that study important source water threats and issues.

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 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 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

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.

These publications are related to water, water resources, and hydrogeology. The Groundwater Reports series was discontinued and was superseded by the Hydrologic Reports series. Hydrogeologic Sheets are essentially geologic maps of relatively small areas with a hydrogeologic focus and include data on groundwater elevation and chemistry.

Of course, a large number of our publications not listed here — like geologic maps, open-file reports, and several of our technical monographs — relate directly or indirectly to water resources as well. We also have two Decision Makers Field Guides that focused on water resource issues that are written for a non-technical audience. See our Aquifer Mapping Program page for the results of more current water-related work.

These are non-TCR (Total Coliform Rule) samples for water systems around the state of New Mexico.

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 EDI Data Portal contains environmental and ecological data packages contributed by a number of participating organizations. Data providers make every effort to release data in a timely fashion and with attention to accurate, well-designed and well-documented data. To understand data fully, please read the associated metadata and contact data providers if you have any questions. Data may be used in a manner conforming with the license information found in the “Intellectual Rights” section of the data package metadata or defaults to the EDI Data Policy. The Environmental Data Initiative shall not be liable for any damages resulting from misinterpretation or misuse of the data or metadata.

This site is set up for agency transparency for allowing the public and other agencies access to downloadable data from the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer.

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.

Under Section 303(d)(1) of the federal Clean Water Act, each state is required to develop a list of waters within that state which are not supporting their designated uses established in the state Water Quality Standards and establish a total maximum daily load (TMDL), or prepare an TMDL Alternative (IR Category 4b Demonstration), for each assessment unit – pollutant combination.

WRRI's Statewide Water Assessment is an effort that will complement existing state agency water resource assessments. It will provide new, dynamic (updated frequently), spatially representative assessments of water budgets for the entire state of New Mexico. Projects included in the Statewide Water Assessment bring new technologies that expand existing studies and are applicable statewide. Of particular interest are water budget components for which state agencies require improved information, such as evapotranspiration (ET), crop consumptive use, groundwater recharge, and streamflow.

Water Masters actively administer the distribution of water from stream systems on a daily basis. This site contains links to individual Water Masters and access to Water Master Reports.

Numerous technical reports related to water in New Mexico regions

The Nonpoint Source (NPS) Program, is supported with federal Clean Water Act funds for watershed-based planning and implementation, and requires a match with non-federal dollars. Funds are available annually through requests for proposals to support watershed-based planning and implementation of WBPs. The NPS Program also supports in-house activities for water quality protection, education and outreach, protection of ground water, and interagency coordination.
