The Environmental Services Division conducts aquifer groundwater monitoring at approximately 130 selected wells within the Albuquerque city limits. 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. https://www.cabq.gov/environmentalhealth/landfill-groundwater-monitoring/ground-water-monitoring

- 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.1Licence not specifiedover 1 year ago
- Prior to the use of the Cerro Colorado Landfill, the City of Albuquerque, Bernalillo County and private landowners operated several other landfills in and around Albuquerque. Though these landfills are now closed and have not accepted trash for some time, there is still a great deal of action taking place onsite. Landfills located in arid climates such as Albuquerque’s can create landfill gas for decades after being closed. These gases along with other products of decomposing landfills are potentially explosive and can impact water quality and health in addition to creating strong odors. The Environmental Services Division within the Environmental Health Department monitors these older landfills for gas generation, gas migration and groundwater contamination. Additionally, the Environmental Services Division recommends safety measures for development on and near these closed landfills (see Interim Guidelines for Development near Landfills). The Environmental Services Division works with the City of Albuquerque Planning Department to ensure that areas near old landfills are developed safely according to the guidelines. The Environmental Services Division also initiates remediation work for landfills that pose a risk. Some of these remediation measures include groundwater treatment and landfill gas collection. The map below provides locations of all known closed landfills in the Albuquerque metro area. The map also provides the buffer zones for all of these landfills. Each individual landfill can be selected for more information about the selected landfill. Contact information is provided for landfills that are not managed by the City of Albuquerque, Environmental Health Department.1Licence not specifiedover 1 year ago
