WATER-LEVEL DATA FOR THEALBUQUERQUE BASIN, NEW MEXICO,

PERIOD OF RECORD THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30,1995

By Dale R. Rankin

ABSTRACT

The Albuquerque Basin, located in central New Mexico, is about 100 miles long and 25 to 40 miles wide. The basin is defined as the extent of Cenozoic deposits that encompass the structural Rio Grande Rift within the basin. Drinking-water supplies throughout the Albuquerque Basin are currently (1996) obtained solely from ground-water resources. The population of the basin grew from 419,000 in 1980 to 563,600 in 1990, a 34-percent increase, and resulted in increases in water demand and ground-water pumpage. Between April 1982 and September 1983, a network of wells was established to monitor changes in ground-water levels throughout the Albuquerque Basin. Water-level data were collected at 74 wells and piezometers for the period of record through September 30,1995, in the Albuquerque Basin. Water-level data are currently (1996) collected annually at sites 11 and 39; semiannually at sites 1-10; quarterly at sites 12,13, 26, 36-38,40,43,49-51,64-67, 69, and 71-74; and monthly at sites 14-25, 33-35,41, 52- 63, and 68.

INTRODUCTION

The Albuquerque Basin is located in central New Mexico and is about 100 miles long and 25 to 40 miles wide. The basin is defined as the extent of Cenozoic deposits that encompass the structural Rio Grande Rift within the basin (Thorn and others, 1993). The study area extends from Bernalillo south to San Acacia and from Tijeras Canyon west to near the intersection of Interstate 40 and the Bernalillo/Cibola County line (fig. 1). Parts of Sandoval, Bernalillo, Valencia, and Socorro Counties are located within the study area. The only perennial stream is the southward-flowing Rio Grande, which approximately bisects the basin.

The Albuquerque metropolitan area includes a population of 502,100 (U.S. Department of Commerce, 1991). Although the majority of people are concentrated within the Albuquerque city limits, the basinwide population grew from 419,000 in 1980 to 563,600 in 1990 (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1980, 1991), an increase of 34 percent. The demand for ground water has likewise increased because drinking-water supplies throughout the Albuquerque Basin are currently (1996) obtained solely from ground-water resources (Kues, 1987).

This report provides water-level and other data for 74 selected wells and piezometers in the Albuquerque Basin, central New Mexico (Wilkins, 1986; Anderholm and Bullard, 1987; and Kues, 1987) from the period of record through September 30,1995. The general location of these wells is shown in figure 1.

Well-Numbering SystemThe system of numbering wells in New Mexico is based on the common subdivision of

public lands into sections (fig. 2). The well number, in addition to designating the well, locates its position to the nearest 10-acre tract in the land network. This number is divided into four segments. The first segment denotes the township north of the New Mexico base line, the second denotes the range east of the New Mexico principal meridian, and the third denotes the section. The fourth segment of the number, which consists of three digits, denotes the 160-, 40-, and 10- acre tracts, respectively, in which the well is situated. For this purpose, the section is divided into four quarters, numbered 1, 2,3, and 4, in the normal reading order, for the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast quarters. The first digit of the fourth segment gives the quarter section, which is a tract of 160 acres. Similarly, the quarter section is divided into four 40-acre tracts numbered in the same manner, and the second digit denotes the 40-acre tract. Finally, the 40-acre tract is divided into four 10-acre tracts, and the third digit denotes the 10-acre tract. For example, well 09N.03E.19.243 is in the SW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of section 19, T. 09 N., R. 03 E. (fig. 2). Letters A, B, C, and so on are added to the last segment of the well number to designate the second, third, fourth, and succeeding wells in the same 10-acre tract.

Methods

Water-level data were collected by U.S. Geological Survey personnel. Currently (1996), water levels at sites 11 and 39 are measured annually; at sites 1-10, semiannually; at sites 12,13, 26, 36-38,40,43,49-51, 64-67, 69, and 71-74, quarterly; and at sites 14-25, 33-35,41, 52-63, and 68, monthly. Electric and steel tapes are used to collect data from sites measured annually, semiannually, quarterly, and monthly; when using tapes, consecutive measurements within 0.02 foot need to be obtained to be considered reliable. Water levels at sites 45, 46, and 48 are monitored hourly with Fischer-Porter analog-to-digital recorders. Sites 27-32, 42, 44, 47, and 70 were dropped from the network in 1994 because of duplication of effort (sites 27 and 42), budget considerations (sites 28-32,44, and 70), or because the well was destroyed (site 47).

WATER-LEVEL AND OTHER DATA

Well and piezometer data are listed in table 1. The data in table 1 include site number and identifier, local identifier, owner, other identifier, total depth, and screened interval of the wells and piezometers in the network. Hydrographs of water-level data for the period of record through September 30, 1995, are shown in figure 3. The name shown on each hydrograph in figure 3 refers to the "other identifier'7 column in table 1. For wells for which "other identifier" is not available, the well name refers to the well owner. The data presented in the hydrographs include depth to water, in feet below land surface, and hydraulic head, in feet above sea level. Hydraulic head is the altitude of the water level. Recorded data are incomplete for some wells or piezometers because of recorder malfunction or temporary removal of the recorder when water- quality samples were obtained. The total depth of wells and piezometers range from 8 to 1,800 feet below land surface. Sites 1-4,6-10,13,26,50,51,64,67,68, and 74 are domestic wells; sites 5, 14-25, 27-35, 37-49, 52-63, 65, 66, and 70-73 are observation wells or piezometers; sites 2 and 11 are irrigation wells; and sites 12,36, and 69 are stock wells.
