Hydrogeology and water resources of the Salt Basin, New Mexico and Texas

Abstract

The research team at New Mexico Tech is especially grateful for the support of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation staff throughout this project, especially Sarah Branum and Dagmar Llewlleyn for their reviews of the draft report. The team at the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission (ISC) and collaborating consultants from S.S. Papadopulos & Associates (SSPA) were incredible to work with, especially John Longworth at the ISC and Gilbert Barth and Jessica Rodgers at SSPA. Reviews and collaboration by USGS staff, including Jeff Pepin and Andre Ritchie, were also very helpful in improving the details related to the geophysical studies and the modeling sections, respectively.The fieldwork and data collection could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of the many land owners and well owners who granted access to wells for measurement or sampling.
