COMMENTS TO MAP USERS
The purpose of this map is to illustrate important aspects of regional
ground water flow. Ground-water-elevation data depicted herein were
calculated primarily from depth-to-water measurements taken between
2003 and 2005 by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral
Resources (NMBGMR) at New Mexico Tech, the New Mexico Office of
the State Engineer (NMOSE), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
Some data contained herein were also compiled from existing sources
including the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), the City and
County of Santa Fe, private consultants and drilling companies, and
records of the Eldorado Water and Sanitation District (EWSD). While
utmost care was taken to ensure data quality, the authors can not verify
the accuracy of measurements taken by third parties. Land surface
elevations used to calculate ground-water elevation values originated from
the 10-m digital elevation model (DEM). Ground water levels in the vicinity
of pumping wells are erratic and fluctuate significantly over time and
natural variations also occur. The user should be aware that conditions
change and information contained on this map may not reflect actual or
current conditions. Site- and time-specific conditions should be verified by
the user. All additional information contained on this map, other than
ground-water-elevation data, are interpretations of the author. The
ground-water-elevation contours were interpolated from point data using
an inverse distance method (IDW) in ARC INFO 9.3, followed by manual
adjustment at study area boundaries and well fields. The ground-water
elevation contours were used to further interpret or generate groundwater-flow direction, the boundaries of ground-water flow units, and
directions of vertical hydraulic-gradient in multilevel piezometers,
piezometer nests, and domestic well pairs. This map is subject to revision
and has not been reviewed according to NMBGMR editorial standards.
