La Cienega’s springs and wetlands are important hydrologic, ecologic and cultural resources, and provide many beneficial water-related functions. The wetlands discharge groundwater from regional and local aquifers that provide the sole water source for the southern Santa Fe region. We investigate the wetland system by examining the hydrologic interactions manifested in the wetland water balance.

The Healy Collaborative Groundwater Monitoring Network is a statewide well measurement network, with wells measured in a variety of ways (i.e. pressure, acoustic, and manual measurements), as well as compiling data from various regional networks. This is an API link to these well locations and associated data.

From October 2000 through June 2002, the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources conducted geologic mapping on the Pueblo of Picuris as part of a three phase hydrogeologic project for the Pueblo. This work produced a geologic map of the Picuris reservation, and results were summarized in a Phase 1 Final Technical Report dated June 2002. From June 2003 through December 2004, the Bureau continued work on the hydrologic and water quality aspects of the project, which comprised phases 2 and 3 of the study. These phases of work included a well and spring inventory, water level measurements, assessment of the quality of groundwater and surface water, evaluations of the subsurface hydrogeology of aquifers and the interaction between groundwater, surface water and potential sources of contamination in the vicinity of the confluence of the Rio Pueblo de Picuris, Rio Santa Barbara, Rio Chiquito, and Chamizal Creek. This report summarizes the data collected and findings of these final two phases of the hydrogeologic assessment of groundwater and surface water resources on the Pueblo of Picuris.

The SSA program enables EPA to designate an aquifer as a sole source of drinking water and establish a review area. EPA then reviews proposed projects that will both 1) be located within the review area and 2) Receive federal funding. The review area includes the area overlying the SSA. It may also include the source areas of streams that flow into the SSA's recharge zone. EPA's review is intended to ensure that the projects do not contaminate the SSA. Harvested May 19, 2017.

The NGWMN Data Portal provides access to groundwater data from multiple, dispersed databases in a web-based mapping application. The portal contains current and historical data including water levels, water quality, lithology, and well construction. The NGWMN is currently in the process of adding new data providers to the Network. Agencies or organizations collecting groundwater data can find out more about becoming a data provider for the Network. Funding to support data providers to the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network is provided through USGS Cooperative Agreements. Agencies can also find information about the status of the USGS cooperative agreements.
