GROUND-WATER LEVELS IN NEW MEXICO, 1959

Compiled by

H. O. ReederU. S. Geological Survey

ABSTRACT

Water levels are measured periodically in a network of observationwells to record changes in ground-water storage in areas where theground-water resources are being developed~ This report includes theannual measurements made in January or February 1960, with changes inwater level in 1959, and seasonal and daily water levels in 1959.Water-level changes for 1959 are presented graphically on maps formost areas of observation.

The areas of observation are as follows: House, Clovis, PortalesValley, Causey-Lingo, Tatum-Lovington-Hobbs, Roswell basin, Carlsbad,Hondo Valley, Penasco Valley, Estancia Valley, Tularosa-Alamogordo,Crow Flats, Sunshine Valley, Albuquerque-Belen, Hot Springs basin,Grants-Bluewater, the Animas, Playas, Lordsburg, San Simon, Virden, andMimbres Valleys, and parts of Grant County.

INTRODUCTION

Scope of the Program of Water-Level Measurements

The program of measuring water levels in an established networkof observation wells in New Mexico was continued in 1959 as part of theinvestigation of ground-water resources in cooperation with the StateEngineer Office. Beginning with the study of the Roswell basin in 1925,the observation-well program has been continued and expanded from timeto time to obtain information on changes in water level in newly devel-oped areas, primarily where large supplies have been developed for irri-gation. The frontispiece map shows the location and approximate extentof the areas of observation as of December 1959.

Water levels measured periodically in several wells in an areaprovide a good index to the status of the particular ground-water res-ervoir. A decline in water levels reflects a decrease in the waterstored in the reservoir that may be related to natural discharge fromthe ground-water reservoir or, more commonly, to discharge from wells.

2 GROUND-WATER LEVELS IN NEW MEXICO, 1959

A rise indicates an increase in storage that may be related to above-normal recharge or) in a restricted area, to cessation of pumping. Water-level measurements made in January or February (before irrigation begins)are used in comparing the year-to-year net changes in water level andin preparing the maps showing water-level changes in the various areas.Water levels also were measured periodically during the year to determinethe seasonal fluctuation, if any, of the water table.

Water levels were measured in 1,690 wells in January and February1959 and in 1,650 wells during the same period in 1960. About 1,970additional measurements of water level were made_ at intervals during1959 in 600 of the same wells measured in January and February. During1958 about 2,340 additional measurements were made in 605 of the samewells measured in January and February. Recording gages were maintainedon 33 of the seasonal wells to obtain detailed records of water-levelfluctuations. All measurements are given in feet above or below land-surface datum at the well, except the mean monthly and mean annual arte-sian heads in seven wells in the Roswell basin, which are given in feetabove mean sea level. Water levels in two observation wells in theVirden Valley in Hidalgo Gounty were measured by the Arizona office ofthe U. S. Geological Survey.

The Pecos Valley Artesian Conservancy District operated water-stagerecorders on 10 PVACD wells in the intake area of the Roswell basin in1959. The daily highest water levels in the 10 wells, collected and com-piled by the PVACD, appear in table 35A (P. 66 to 75).

All water-level measurements taken each year before 1951 were pub-lished annually in the series of U. S. Geological Survey Water-SupplyPapers titled, ItWater Levels and Artesian Pressures in Observation Wellsin the United States in (year)." From 1951 through 1955, only the season-al measurements were pUblished in that series of annual reports. Since1955 the series of reports is being published in abbreviated form at 5-year intervals. The annual measurements from 1951 to 1955, omitted fromthe series of annual reports by the Geological Survey, were published ina summary report by the State Engineer as Technical Report 13. This re-port, TtAnnual Water-Level Measurements in Observation Wells, 1951-1955,and Atlas of Maps Showing Changes in Water Levels for Various Periodsfrom Beginning of Record Through 1954, New Mexico)" also includes a sum-mary text for the period of record through 1954 for the State and foreach area, hydrographs) and nearly all the maps of water-level changefor the period of record through 1954. The State Engineer began publi-cation of an annual water-level report starting with 1955 data. Thereport for 1~55 is similar to the U. S. Geological Survey Water-SupplyPaper, but it includes the annual measurements instead of the seasonalmeasurements of water level. The annual water-level reports publishedby the State Engineer for the years 1956, 1957, and 1958 include allmeasurements of water level along with the text and maps of water-levelchange. Beginning with 1959 data, all measurements of water levels andmaps of change are to be published each year; the summary text will beincluded at intervals of about 3 years.

INTRODUCTION 3

Significance and Presentation of Data

Annual Measurements

Water levels are measured in many observation wells each Januaryor February in the main areas in New Mexico where ground water is usedfor irrigation. The wells are measured at a time of year when recoveryof water levels from pumping effects of the previous irrigation seasonis virtually complete -- therefore, at a time when comparison withwater levels of previous years is most significant. These winter meas-urements provide an index to the amount of ground water in storage and,when compared with measurements of other years, reflect changes in stor-age resulting from changes in recharge and discharge. The maps ofwater-level change are based on the annual (January or February) meas-urements of water level.

The tables of the annual water-level measurements show the time ofrecord and list the water levels in January or February for all obser-vation wells, the change since the measurements of the preceding Januaryor February, and, for comparison, the highest and lowest recorded levelsduring January or February of past years.

February measurements, if available, are used for years in whichobservation wells were not measured in January. If a measurement forany time other than· January or February is included, a footnote is addedstating the month.

The lowest recorded water level, as pUblished for any given well,is one measured at a time when the well was not being pumped, exceptfor some wells that were being pumped by windmills and it could be de-termined that the water level was not lowered appreciably by the pump-ing. The year of beginning of record in this tabulation of annualmeasurements is the first year in which a January or February measure-ment was made. Records are missing for years when a January or Februarymeasurement was not made or when a water level was affected by pumpingto the extent that comparison with the previous yearts water levelwould be meaningless. However, because of the difficulty in determin-ing immediately if a water level affected by pumping is representative,the water-level measurement for- the present year will not be reportedmissing until the following year, if at that time it is still the low-est level. Even though a water-level measurement of a previous year isre~orted missing for some wells because of a low level resulting fromthe well being pumped, a yearly change will be given because of itsvalue in sho~ing the order of magnitude of the drawdown while the wellis being pumped.

the report. Footnotes following "rn" are not standard but may have adifferent meaning from one table to another. Footnotes used and theirmeanings are listed at the end of each table.


For wells equipped with recording gages, daily water levels areincluded and are tabulated following the data for seasonal wells foreach area. The highest and lowest water levels of record for wellsequipped with recording gages are the highest and lowest of the dailyhigh levels taken from recorder graphs. This is to allow comparison ofthe water levels without the immediate effects of pumping. All measure-ments are given in feet above or below land-surface datum (lsd) at thewell unless stated as feet above mean sea level (msl).

Figure I shows the abbreviated system of numbering wells in NewMexico which is based on the common subdivisions of public lands intosections. The system is used in all areas except for the thermal wellsin Truth or Consequences (the Hot Springs area), Sierra County. Forexample, well 12,36.24,342 in Lea County is located in the NE!SE!SW!sec. 24, T. 12 S., R, 36 E. The NE! is abbreviated as 2, the SE! as 4,and so on. Letters a, b, c., etc., are added to the last segment todesignate the second, third, fourth, and succeeding wells in the same10-acre tract. If a well is located only to the 40-acre tract, the 10-acre tract number is therefore given as 0; for example 13.37.25.120.

The highest and lowest water levels of record and the period ofrecords available are included With the current seasonal water-levelmeasurements for each well. water levels in prior years, if any, inwells that have not been reported previously, also are included hereinat the end of each section and are noted by an asterisk in the table ofseasonal measurements. The highest and lowest levels recorded duringthe period of measurement are listed for comparison. The highest andlowest levels listed with the seasonal measurements are not necessarilythe same as those listed with the annual measurements but are the high-est and lowest of all measurements available. As far as could be de-termined, the lowest recorded level as published for a well is a static,or nonpumping, level, except for some wells that were being pumped bywindmills at a negligible rate. The year of beginning of record in thistabulation of seasonal measurements is the year in which the first meas-urement, seasonal or annual, was recorded.

In addition to measurements in January or February, selected wellsare measured, generally at 2- to 4-month intervals, in order to noteseasonal changes in water levels caused by precipitation and pumpingand to aid in interpreting the yearly net changes in water levels.

INTRODUCTION 5

In a county such as Roosevelt County, where wells are situated intownships both north and south of the base line, the letter N is addedto the first segment of the well number if the well is north of thebase line, but no letter is added if the well is south of the base line.Similarly, in a county where wells are located in ranges both east andwest of the meridian, the letter E is added to the second segment ofthe well number of those wells east of the meridian. In counties lyingentirely within one quadrant of the principal meridian and base line,the direction north or south of the base line or east or west of themeridian is not given.

The designation of a well location is not to be considered the ab-solute location, as many section lines were not accurately surveyed byinstrument at the time of designating the well number.

A modification of this system has been used for wells on grantland in Sunshine Valley in Taos County where land was sectionized ac-cording to a system used in Colorado and extended into New Mexico.Within the Sangre de Cristo Grant, townships south of the State linehave been designated T. 1 S., and T. 2 S., whereas those north of theline are designated T. IN., etc.
