Simulated effects of ground-water management scenarios on the Santa Fe group aquifer system, Middle Rio Grande Basin, New Mexico, 2001-40
Future conditions in the Santa Fe Group aquifer system through 2040 were simulated using the most recent revision of the U.S. Geological Survey groundwater- flow model for the Middle Rio Grande Basin. Three simulations were performed to investigate the likely effects of different scenarios of future groundwater pumping by the City of Albuquerque on the ground-water system. For simulation I, pumpin

Spatial patterns and temporal variability in water quality from City of Albuquerque drinking-water supply wells and piezometer nests, with implications for the ground-water flow system
Water-quality data for 93 City of Albuquerque drinking-water supply wells, 7 deep piezometer nests, and selected additional wells were examined to improve understanding of the regional ground-water system and its response to pumpage. Plots of median values of several major parameters showed discernible water-quality differences both areally and with depth in the aquifer. Areal differences were suf

Estimated water-level declines in the Santa Fe Group aquifer system in the Albuquerque area, central New Mexico, predevelopment to 2002
In the Albuquerque metropolitan area of central New Mexico, residential water-supply requirements have historically been met almost exclusively by ground-water withdrawal from the Santa Fe Group aquifer system. The rapid population growth of the metropolitan area from about 262,200 residents in 1960 (Karen D. Thompson, U.S. Census Bureau, written commun., 2002) to about 712,700 residents in 2000 (

Predevelopment water-level map of the Santa Fe Group aquifer system in the middle Rio Grande basin between Cochiti Lake and San Acacia, New Mexico
Because of its increasing population and limited water resources, the Middle Rio Grande Basin between Cochiti Lake and San Acacia, New Mexico, has recently become the subject of intense study. In particular, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the City of Albuquerque has constructed a series of ground-water-flow models of the Tertiary and Quaternary basin-fill deposits of the San

Summary of water-quality data for City of Albuquerque drinking-water supply wells, 1988-97
The City of Albuquerque has collected and analyzed more than 5,000
water-quality samples from 113 water-supply wells in the Albuquerque
area, including many drinking-water supply wells, since May of 1988.
As a result, a large water-quality data base has been compiled that
includes data for major ions, nutrients, trace elements, carbon,
volatile organic compounds, radiological constituen

Proposed expansion of the City of Albuquerque/U.S. Geological Survey ground-water-level monitoring network for the middle Rio Grande Basin, New Mexico
The Middle Rio Grande Basin in central New Mexico, extending from
Cochiti Lake on the north to San Acacia on the south, covers an area
of about 3,060 square miles. Ground-water withdrawals in the basin
are concentrated in and around the city of Albuquerque. Because of
rapid increases in population and associated ground-water pumpage,
a network of wells was established cooperatively by th

Water-quality assessment of the Rio Grande Valley, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas: Ground-water quality in the Rio Grande flood plain, Cochiti Lake, New Mexico, to El Paso, Texas, 1995
From March to May of 1995, water samples were collected from
30 wells located in the flood plain of the Rio Grande between
Cochiti Lake, New Mexico, and El Paso, Texas. These samples were
analyzed for a broad host of constituents, including field
parameters, major constituents, nutrients, dissolved organic
carbon, trace elements, radiochemicals, pesticides, and volatile
organic compoun
