Southwest Gravity Program
The Southwest Gravity Program provides high-precision time-lapse gravity (repeat microgravity) data for hydrologic studies in the southwestern US. Recent projects include monitoring recharge underneath ephemeral-stream channels, monitoring aquifer-storage change in unconfined and compressible aquifers, measuring storage change at surface-spreading and injection-well artificial-recharge facilities...Aquifer storage-change monitoring in Albuquerque Basin, New Mexico
USGS, in cooperation with the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority, began repeat microgravity measurements in 2015 to monitor aquifer-storage changes in the Albuquerque basin. - Publications
