Groundwater 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 groundwater 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 groundwater use is greatest. USGS also has nine continuously recording groundwater wells located throughout the State.

Groundwater Networks
- Active Water-Level Network:Quick look:
The Active Groundwater Level Network contains water levels and well information from more than 20,000 wells that have been measured by the USGS or USGS cooperators at least once within the past 365 days. This network includes all of these wells, regardless of measurement frequency, aquifer monitored, or the monitoring objective.

- Climate Response Network: Quick look:
The USGS maintains a network of wells to monitor the effects of droughts and other climate variability on groundwater levels. The network consists of a national network of about 140 wells monitored as part of the Groundwater Resources Program, supplemented by wells in some States monitored as part of the Cooperative Water Program.

- Real-Time Network Quick look:
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. Recording and transmission times may be more frequent during critical events. Data from real-time sites are relayed to USGS offices via satellite, telephone, and/or radio and are available for viewing within minutes of arrival.
