What is the depth to groundwater in my area?
The best source of average depth to groundwater information in the state of New Mexico is the W.A.T.E.R.S. database. This database can be searched using either Township-Range-section, State Plane, or UTM coordinate location information. The New Mexico Environment Department has a very generalized map of depth to ground water for the state of New Mexico. Publications about water levels in particular areas in New Mexico can be obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey. Click the Publications Warehouse button, and type the key words, New Mexico water + your area of interest. The U.S. Geological Survey has published water table levels for the Albuquerque area as of 2002 (see chapter 4, p. 50).
