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...
Deionized Water Leachate Chemistry Data from Sulphur Springs, Valles Caldera National Preserve, NM October 2023 Deionized Water Leachate Chemistry Data from Sulphur Springs, Valles Caldera National Preserve, NM October 2023
This dataset contains the leachate chemistry results from six samples collected from pond bed sediments in the Sulphur Springs region of the Valles Caldera National Preserve in New Mexico. A batch experiment was performed to evaluate the mobility of major and trace elements from the six sampling sites. The sediments were collected in October 2023.
