Our mission is to protect and restore the environment and to foster a healthy and prosperous New Mexico for present and future generations. We implement our mission guided by four tenets: 

###Science

Using the best available science to inform our decision-making in protecting public health and the environment.

###Innovation

Employing creative engineering and technological solutions to address environmental challenges. 

###Collaboration

Engaging communities and interested stakeholders in environmental decision-making outcomes.  

###Compliance

Ensuring meaningful compliance with state regulations and permits; leveling the playing field through enforcement.

The New Mexico Environment Department was created by the 40th state Legislature in 1991 under the “Department of Environment Act” (Chapter 25). As a regulatory agency, NMED enforces various state regulations and federal laws relating to protection of the environment, resources, and public health and safety.

Drinking Water Watch Samples now in SensorThings API
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The NMENV's Drinking Water Watch is a public facing web app that members of the public can use to find information on their public water system.

https://sdwis.water.net.env.nm.gov/NMDWW/

1. Type **SANTA FE** into the Water System Name box and hit Enter
2. Click **NM3505126** SANTA FE WATER SYSTEM (CITY OF)
3. Click Other Chemical Results
4. Click the recent Sample No. **2111C89-001** on 1592 Cerro Gordo Rd
5. You can now see 11 different chemicals (analytes) and the values gathered

SensorThings API is a REST compliant interface for software to query the same data programmatically, that is, with a script or using another app to query it regularly, instead of via mouseclicks.  Common uses of this method to display data on a map, or generate a report, or conduct research.  Click the link below to start:

https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1

Your experience will be best using **Mozilla Firefox** because the output is in a format called JSON, and Firefox will indent and color code it for you instead of returning a mass of jumbled text.  Other browsers needs a plugin to parse and format JSON.

You will see a number of elements, or topics, there.  In general, they correspond to Drinking Water Watch tables as follows:

[comment]: <> (|SensorThings API element|Drinking Water Watch table|)
[comment]: <> (|---|---|)
[comment]: <> (|FeaturesOfInterest|public water systems|)
[comment]: <> (|Observations|sample results|)
[comment]: <> (|Things|sample points $with locations$|)
[comment]: <> (|ObservedProperties|analytes|)
[comment]: <> (|Sensors|laboratories|)
FeaturesOfInterest --> public water systems

Observations --> sample results

Things --> sample points (with locations)

ObservedProperties --> analytes

Sensors --> laboratories

Click on the link for public water systems

https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1/FeaturesOfInterest

To find all water systems with SANTA FE in their name you can add a query to the URL like so:

[https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1/FeaturesOfInterest?$filter=substringof('SANTA FE', name)](https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1/FeaturesOfInterest?$filter=substringof(%27SANTA%20FE%27,%20name))

As with the Drinking Water Watch graphical user interface, you can see that the SANTA FE WATER SYSTEM (CITY OF) has a SDWIS ID number of **NM3505126**.  Now you can also filter by this to go directly to it:

[https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1/FeaturesOfInterest?$filter=properties/number eq 'NM3505126'](https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1/FeaturesOfInterest?$filter=properties/number%20eq%20'NM3505126')

Sample results, or Observations, for this utility are given in a URL in the body of the returned JSON string.

[https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1/FeaturesOfInterest(380)/Observations](https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1/FeaturesOfInterest(380)/Observations)

If you want to see the results of a specific sample, you may filter by its sample number.  Let's try the one we got earlier, **2111C89-001**:

[https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1/Observations?$filter=parameters/sample_number eq '2111C89-001'](https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1/Observations?$filter=parameters/sample_number%20eq%20%272111C89-001%27)

You can see the same 11 results from before.

A strength of SensorThings API is that it can be queried using any number of these built-in linkages that tie samples to public water systems (Observations to a FeatureOfInterest), but also a number of custom queries.

You can return all treatment plants in a geographic area by sending in a bounding box of latitude longitude values around Roswell.  Please note that absolutely everything is case sensitive:

[https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1/Locations?$filter=substringof('PLANT', description) and st_intersects(location, geography'POLYGON((-104.67698 33.23398,-104.67698 33.60708,-104.24332 33.60708,-104.24332 33.23398,-104.67698 33.23398))')](https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1/Locations?$filter=substringof%28%27PLANT%27,%20description%29%20and%20st_intersects%28location,%20geography%27POLYGON%28%28-104.67698%2033.23398,-104.67698%2033.60708,-104.24332%2033.60708,-104.24332%2033.23398,-104.67698%2033.23398%29%29%27%29)

To return all positive tests for microbes in the Santa Fe water system:

[https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1/FeaturesOfInterest(380)/Observations?$filter=result eq 'P'](https://nmenv.newmexicowaterdata.org/FROST-Server/v1.1/FeaturesOfInterest(380)/Observations?$filter=result%20eq%20%27P%27)
