WATER-LEVEL DATA FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE BASIN AND 

ADJACENT AREAS, CENTRAL NEW MEXICO, PERIOD OF 

RECORD THROUGH 2002

ByR.K. DeWees 

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 about 35 

percent in the population from 1980 to 1990 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 (2002), the network consists of 230 

wells and piezometers. U.S. Geological Survey 

personnel collect water-level measurements at sites 

1-5, 7-20, 24-64, 66-73, 76-83, 85-87, and 159-230. 

Water-level and other data for sites 88-158 are 

collected by other agencies. Water-level data for sites 6, 

21-23, 65, 74, 75, and 84 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 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 analogto-digital recorders and 27 wells where water levels 

were measured monthly. Currently (2002), the network 

consists of 230 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 waterlevel measurements from 151 sites. Measurements 

from 151 sites (1-5, 7-20, 24-64, 66-73, 76-83, 85-87, 

and 159-230) are collected by the USGS. 

Measurements from 71 sites (88-158) are collected by 

other 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. For example, well 

09N.03E.07.131A is 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). 

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.

Methods

Electric and steel tapes are used to collect waterlevel measurements at all sites. Measurements at sites 

64 and 66 are collected using analog-to-digital 

recorders. Pressure transducers and data loggers are 

used to collect water-level data at sites 165-230.

WELL AND PIEZOMETER 

CONSTRUCTION DATA AND 

HYDROGRAPHS

Well and piezometer construction data 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 are 

shown in figure 4. The data presented in the 

hydrographs include depth to water and hydraulic head. 

Water-level measurements collected by USGS 

personnel are presented in eight previous USGS OpenFile Reports (Kues, 1987; Rankin, 1994, 1996, 1998, 

1999, 2000; DeWees, 2001, 2002).

Water-level measurements are currently (2002) 

collected at 151 sites. USGS personnel collect 

measurements at sites 1-5, 7-20, 24-64, 66-73, 76-83, 

85-87, and 159-230, and other agencies collect 

measurements at sites 88-158. Water-level data for sites
6, 21-23, 65, 74, 75, and 84 were not available for this 

report. 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; only upon request at sites 56-60; 

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

64,66, and 159-230. The frequency of water-level data 

collection varies at sites 88-158. 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). 

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

159-230, water-level data are presented for the period 

of record through 2002, except where noted in figure 4. 

The period of reported measurements varies at sites 

88-158.
