Development of a hydrologic flow model of the Zuñi Salt Lake and surrounding areas, west-central New Mexico Development of a hydrologic flow model of the Zuñi Salt Lake and surrounding areas, west-central New Mexico
The terminal Zuñi Salt Lake is in a maar in west-central New Mexico and contains hypersaline water that has long been used by Native Americans for religious purposes and the collection of salt. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico, and Bureau of Reclamation, developed the Zuñi Salt Lake hydrologic flow model to...
Beaver dam analogs as nature-based solutions to mitigate snowpack loss in northern New Mexico Beaver dam analogs as nature-based solutions to mitigate snowpack loss in northern New Mexico
Reductions in snow have left many streams in northern New Mexico dry or with very low flows during the summer. Base flow, defined as the contribution of groundwater to streamflow, can sustain streamflow during the summer and during drought conditions. Beaver dam analogs can be used to “slow the flow,” or increase the infiltration of rain-based runoff to replenish shallow groundwater...
Using sediment chemical fractions and multivariate statistics on water to identify sources, mobility, and bioavailability of aluminum in the Florida River near Durango, Colorado Using sediment chemical fractions and multivariate statistics on water to identify sources, mobility, and bioavailability of aluminum in the Florida River near Durango, Colorado
The Florida River in southwestern Colorado, USA, flows through the Southern Ute Reservation and is a cultural and water resource to Tribal and non-Tribal communities. High concentrations of total Al, up to 16 400 µg l–1, have been detected in the Florida River. Elevated Al concentrations in water may affect aquatic organisms’ ability to regulate ions and inhibit respiratory functions...

Investigating PCB, PFAS, and Microplastics in Urban Runoff Contributing to the Rio Grande near Albuquerque, New Mexico
Stormwater outfalls in Albuquerque collect urban runoff from precipitation events which include physical materials and chemical contaminants that contribute directly into the Rio Grande. Among these contaminants are polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), present in consumer and industrial products, some of which were banned decades ago but are still found...
Saturated thickness mapping of the Southern High Plains Aquifer in Eastern New Mexico
The overall objective of this study is to assist Cannon AFB in understanding and interpreting current and local hydrological conditions by developing an estimate of saturated thickness of the aquifer underlying Cannon AFB and surrounding areas. The Southern High Plains aquifer is the principal source of water for Cannon AFB, the nearby towns of Clovis and Portales, and the local agriculture. The...
Decoding Harmful Algal Blooms: Unraveling the Mystery
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a significant environmental concern due to their potential effects on health, ecosystems, and economies. Algal toxins, which are toxic compounds produced by certain species of cyanobacteria and algae, are commonly linked to these blooms. It's important to note that algal toxins can still be present even when a bloom is not visible, highlighting the need for ongoing...
