New Mexico Water Science Center
Water Data for New Mexico
Access real-time data for surface water, groundwater, water quality, and water use in the state of New Mexico.
NM Water DataData and Tools
The New Mexico Water Science Center collects, analyzes, and distributes data on a wide variety of water-related issues and resources. Much of our data are publicly available through the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS), but additional datasets and analytical tools are available here.
New Mexico Water Science Center Sediment Laboratory
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.
Sediment LabNew Mexico Water Science Center Sediment Field Program
Sediment is derived from a parent material subjected to erosional processes by which particles are detached and transported by gravity, wind, water, or a combination of these agents.

Input and Output Data Metadata, Step 2: Input and output data for pre-/post-calibration of streamflow for nine near-native subbasins
This dataset contains input parameter and data files, as well as output files for simulations prior to (pre-calibration) and after calibration (post-calibration) of streamflow parameters for nine near-native subbasins. Simulated and observed streamflow for nine near-native subbasins are included for parts of the Upper Rio Grande Basin in Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and northern M
Input and Output Data for the Application of the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) to Simulate Near-Native Streamflow in the Upper Rio Grande Basin
This data release contains input and output data from hydrologic simulations of naturalized or near-native streamflow conditions in the Upper Rio Grande Basin (URGB) in Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and northern Mexico by using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS). The Upper Rio Grande Basin PRMS model was calibrated in a three step process by (1) calibrating solar rad
Input and Output Data Metadata, Step 1: Input and output data for pre-/post-calibration simulations of solar radiation and potential evapotranspiration for nine near-native subbasins and calibrated subareas
This dataset contains input parameter and data files, as well as output files for simulations before calibration (pre-calibration) and after calibration (post-calibration) of solar radiation and potential evapotranspiration (ET) parameters. Simulated solar radiation and potential ET for nine near-native subbasins and three selected subareas [16, 71, 124] are included for par
Input and Output Data Metadata, Step 3: Input and output data pre-/post-distribution of calibrated parameters to non-calibrated areas in the Upper Rio Grande Basin
This dataset contains input parameter and data files, as well as output files for simulations prior to the distribution of parameters from near-native subbasins to uncalibrated hydrologic response units (HRUs) (pre-distribution) and after parameters are distributed to HRUs (post-distribution). Simulated and observed streamflow for sites along the mainstem of the Rio Grande River are
