Ground-Water Information and Data

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in New Mexico, in cooperation with the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer (NMOSE) and other Federal, State, and local agencies, currently monitors 5,000 ground-water wells dispersed throughout New Mexico in a 5-year rotation that have been measured continually since 1925; some well records go back even further. Of the 5,000 wells, 2,500 wells are measured annually and (or) semi-annually by the USGS or the NMOSE. Water levels are measured in about 1,000 USGS wells once every 5 years or about 350 wells annually and semi-annually. These wells are dispersed throughout New Mexico and the greatest concentrations of wells are located where ground-water use is greatest. USGS also has nine continuously recording ground-water wells located throughout the State.
