Sediment descriptions, sediment core and pore water chemistry from the San Juan Generating Station reservoir, Waterflow, NM
As part of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project, the Bureau of Reclamation was tasked with design and construction of infrastructure to treat and deliver potable water to the communities of Navajo Nation, parts of the Jicarilla Apache Nation, and City of Gallup. The Bureau of Reclamation has been evaluating the Public Service Company of New Mexico's (PNM) San Juan Generating Station (SJGS) reser
PHREEQC files for geochemical simulations in Horn Creek, Grand Canyon, AZ
PHREEQC files included in this ScienceBase product include the input (.pqi) and output (.pqo) files formatted for use in PHREEQC and as basic text files, and the information regarding samples used in the simulations. The files were used to interpret changes in water quality between 2018 and 2022 within the Horn Creek watershed of Grand Canyon for the associated publication (add citation here when
Modified multi-node well (MNW2) files used to simulate potential future (2016-2050) water-table elevation change near Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Data release to accompany the SIR: Potential effects of projected pumping scenarios on future water-table elevations near Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20235075). Data release includes the modified MNW2 files for the local-scale and regional model of the MODFLOW LGR-2 version of the updated Middle Rio Grande Regional model, published here: https://w
MODFLOW One-Water Hydrologic Flow Model (MF-OWHM) used to simulate conjunctive use in the Hatch Valley and Mesilla Basin, New Mexico and Texas, United States, and northern Chihuahua, Mexico
The Rio Grande Transboundary Integrated Hydrologic Model (RGTIHM), which was originally developed by Hanson and others (2020) (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195120), was updated and recalibrated to minimize the biases in RGTIHM?s simulation of streamflow and to incorporate new estimates of historical agricultural consumptive use in the study area. The RGTIHM was developed through an interagency eff
GSFLOW, used to run PRMS and MODFLOW-NWT models, to simulate the effects of natural and anthropogenic impacts on water resources in the Rio San Jose Basin and surrounding areas, New Mexico
The Rio San Jose Integrated Hydrologic Model (RSJIHM) is a sequentially linked, integrated hydrologic model utilizing the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) (version 5.2.0) and MODFLOW-NWT (version 1.2.0) that was developed to provide a tool for analyzing the hydrologic system response to historical water use and potential changes in water supplies and demands in the Rio San Jose Basin. P
Well site and construction data for observation wells in well clusters SF-3, SF-4, and SF-5, Buckman well field, Santa Fe County, New Mexico, 1987
This dataset provides well-site information and construction data for wells SF-3A, SF-3B, SF-3C, SF-4A, SF-4B, SF-4C, SF-5A, SF-5B, and SF-5C that were installed in the Buckman well field, Santa Fe County, New Mexico. The data include well-site information, borehole diameters and depths, well casing and screen diameters and depths, and annular materials and depths. The data were collected by contr
Data to Estimate Water Use Associated with Oil and Gas Development within the Bureau of Land Management Carlsbad Field Office Area, New Mexico
The purpose of this data release is to provide data in support of the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Reasonably Foreseeable Development (RFD) Scenario by estimating water-use associated with oil and gas extraction methods within the BLM Carlsbad Field Office (CFO) planning area, located in Eddy and Lea Counties as well as part of Chaves County, New Mexico. Three comma separated value files and
Passive flux meter data from monitoring wells and sentinel wells in relation to the Kirtland Air Force Base Bulk Fuels Facility, Albuquerque, New Mexico
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains push-pull test results, Darcy velocity data, and contaminant mass flux data measured in Albuquerque, New Mexico, using passive flux meters (PFMs) in monitoring and sentinel wells associated with the Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) Bulk Fuels Facility (BFF). Push-pull test results were used to correct Darcy velocity data collected at large dep
Darcy flux and PFAS mass flux in groundwater at Cannon Air Force Base, Clovis, NM
This United States Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains Darcy flux and mass flux of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) measured using passive flux meters (PFMs) in monitoring wells associated with the Cannon Air Force Base (CAFB) in Clovis, New Mexico. The measurements were conducted by the USGS in cooperation with CAFB, the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, AECOM (an engineering
