The NMWSC Sediment Laboratory routinely performs sediment analyses for suspended-sediment concentration, determines percentages of sand and finer materials, and completes particle-size analyses for suspended and bed-material sediment.
Welcome to the New Mexico Water Science Center (NMWSC) Sediment Lab page. The NMWSC Sediment Lab supports the NMWSC Sediment Program as well as working in cooperation with State and Federal agencies, resource managers, planners, stakeholders, and the general public. Our sediment lab provides data through both sedimentation methods and semidirect measurements.
