Abstract

The Albuquerque Basin, located in central New Mexico, 

is about 100 miles long and 25 to 40 miles wide. The basin 

is defined as the extent of consolidated and unconsolidated 

deposits of Tertiary and Quaternary age that encompass the 

structural Rio Grande Rift within the basin. Drinking-water 

supplies throughout the Albuquerque Basin are obtained 

solely from ground-water resources. An increase of approximately 20 percent in the population from 1991 to present also 

resulted in an increased demand for water. From April 1982 

through September 1983, a network of wells was established 

to monitor changes in ground-water levels throughout the 

Albuquerque Basin. This network consisted of 6 wells with 

analog-to-digital recorders and 27 wells where water levels 

were measured monthly. Currently (2004), the network consists of 234 wells and piezometers. This report presents waterlevel data collected by U.S. Geological Survey personnel at 

155 sites through 2004. Water-level and other data for 71 sites 

are collected by other agencies. Water-level data for 8 sites of 

the 155 sites measured by the U.S. Geological Survey were 

not available for this report.

Introduction

The Albuquerque Basin is located in central New Mexico 

and is about 100 miles long and 25 to 40 miles wide (fig. 1). 

The basin is defined as the extent of consolidated and unconsolidated deposits of Tertiary and Quaternary age that encompass the structural Rio Grande Rift within the basin (Thorn 

and others, 1993). The study area extends from about Cochiti 

Lake south to San Acacia and from Tijeras Canyon west to 

near the intersection of Interstate 40 and the Bernalillo/Cibola 

County line. The only perennial stream is the southward-flowing Rio Grande, which approximately bisects the basin.

In 2000, the population of Albuquerque (fig. 2) was 

448,600 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2001). Although the majority 

of people are concentrated within the Albuquerque city limits, 

the statewide population increased about 20 percent from 1991 

to 2000 (U.S. Census Bureau, 1991, 2000). The demand for 

ground water also has increased because drinking-water 

supplies throughout the Albuquerque Basin are obtained solely 

from ground-water resources.

From April 1982 through September 1983, a network 

of wells was established to monitor changes in ground-water 

levels throughout the Albuquerque Basin. This network consisted of 6 wells with analog-to-digital recorders and 27 wells 

where water levels were measured monthly. Currently (2004), 

the network consists of 234 wells and piezometers.

To better help the City of Albuquerque (City) manage 

water use, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the City, reports water-level measurements from 

155 sites. Measurements from 155 sites (1-5, 7-20, 24-64, 

66-73, 76-83, 85-87, and 159-234) are collected by the USGS, 

and water-level data collected through 2004 are presented in 

this report. Measurements from 71 sites (88-158) are collected 

by other government agencies. Monitoring-well locations 

within the basin and adjacent areas are shown in figure 1; 

locations within the Albuquerque metropolitan area are shown 

in figure 2.

Well-Numbering System

The system of numbering wells and piezometers in New 

Mexico is based on the common subdivision of public lands 

into sections (fig. 3). The well number, in addition to designating the well, locates its position to the nearest 10-acre tract in 

the land network. This number is divided into four segments. 

The first segment denotes the township north or south of the 

New Mexico base line, the second denotes the range east or 

west of the New Mexico principal meridian, and the third 

denotes the section. The fourth segment of the number, which 

consists of three digits, denotes the 160-, 40-, and 10-acre 

tracts, respectively, in which the well is situated. For this 

purpose, the section is divided into four quarters, numbered 1, 

2, 3, and 4, in the normal reading order, for the northwest, 

northeast, southwest, and southeast quarters. The first digit of 

the fourth segment gives the quarter section, which is a tract 

of 160 acres. Similarly, the quarter section is divided into four 

40-acre tracts numbered in the same manner, and the second

digit denotes the 40-acre tract. Finally, the 40-acre tract is 

divided into four 10-acre tracts, and the third digit denotes 

the 10-acre tract. Letters A, B, C, and so on are added to the 

last segment of the well number to designate the second, 

third, fourth, and succeeding wells in the same 10-acre tract. 

For example, well 09N.03E.07.131A is the first well in the 

NW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of section 7, T. 09 N., 

R. 03 E. (fig. 3).

Methods

Electric and steel tapes are used to collect water-level 

measurements at all sites. Pressure transducers and data loggers are used to collect hourly water-level data at sites 64, 66, 

165-234.

Water-level measurements are currently (2004) collected at 155 sites. USGS personnel collect measurements 

at sites 1-5, 7-20, 24-64, 66-73, 76-83, 85-87, and 159-234, 

and other government agencies collect measurements at sites 

88-158. Measurements currently are collected annually at 

site 11; semiannually at sites 1-5, 7-10, 78, and 85; quarterly 

at sites 12-20, 24-55, 67-73, 76-77, 79, 80, 82, 83, and 87; 

monthly at sites 61-63, 81, and 86; and hourly at sites 64, 66, 

and 159-234. The frequency of water-level data collection 

varies at sites 88-158. Also, period of reported measurements 

varies at sites 88-158, which are not included in figure 4. Well 

depth and screened interval are reported at 27 sites (89-115) 

on the Pueblo of Isleta (Alvino Lucero, written commun., 

1999); at 34 sites (116-149) on or near Kirtland Air Force 

Base (Franz Lauffer, written commun., 1998); and at 15 sites 

(150-164) near Intel Corporation (John Shomaker & Associates, Inc., written commun., 1998). Water-level data collected 

by USGS are presented for the period of record through 2004, 

except where noted in figure 4.

Well and Piezometer Construction Data 

and Hydrographs

Data for the 234 wells and piezometers in the network are 

listed in table 1. Data include site number and identifier, local 

identifier, owner, other identifier, well depth, and screened 

interval. Hydrographs of water-level data collected by USGS 

are shown in figure 4. The data presented in the hydrographs 

include depth to water and hydraulic head, expressed as altitude in feet above National Geodetic Vertical datum of 1929 

(NGVD 29). Water-level measurements collected by USGS 

personnel are presented in nine previous USGS Open-File 

Reports (Kues, 1987; Rankin, 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000; 

DeWees, 2001, 2002, 2003).
