“…Discontinuity in numbering sequence is due to wells omitted from this report because of lack of recent data collection. Data from discontinued wells can be seen in previous USGS open-file reports and data series (Kues, 1987;Rankin, 1994Rankin, , 1996Rankin, , 2000DeWees, , 2003DeWees, , 2006Beman, , 2015Beman and Torres, 2010 (Kues, 1987;Rankin, 1994Rankin, , 1996Rankin, , 2000DeWees, , 2003DeWees, , 2006Beman, , 2015Beman and Torres, 2010 (Kues, 1987;Rankin, 1994Rankin, , 1996Rankin, , 2000DeWees, , 2003DeWees, , 2006Beman, , 2015Beman and Torres, 2010 The USGS, in cooperation with the ABCWUA, currently (2015) measures and reports water levels from the 124 wells and piezometers in the network (table 1).

The Albuquerque Basin, located in central New Mexico, is about 100 miles long and 25-40 miles wide. The basin is defined as the extent of consolidated and unconsolidated deposits of Tertiary and Quaternary age that encompasses the structural Rio Grande Rift within the basin. Drinking-water supplies throughout the basin were obtained solely from groundwater resources until December 2008, when surface water from the Rio Grande began being treated and integrated into the system. A population increase of about 20 percent in the basin from 1990 to 2000 and a 22 percent increase from 2000 to 2010 resulted in an increased demand for water. An initial network of wells was established by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the City of Albuquerque from April 1982 through September 1983 to monitor changes in groundwater levels throughout the basin. This network consisted of 6 wells with analog-to-digital recorders and 27 wells where water levels were measured monthly in 1983. Currently (2012), the network consists of 126 wells and piezometers. (A piezometer is a specialized well open to a specific depth in the aquifer, often of small diameter and nested with other piezometers open to different depths.) The USGS, in cooperation with the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA), currently (2012) measures and reports water levels from the 126 wells and piezometers in the network; this report presents water-level data collected by USGS personnel at those 126 sites through water year 2012.

“…Water-level data through September 30, 1995, are presented in four previous USGS open-file reports. The first such report (Kues, 1987) includes water-level data collected through September 30,1985; the second report (Rankin, 1994) includes water-level data collected from October 1,1986, through September 30, 1990; the third report (Rankin, 1996) includes waterlevel data collected from the period of record through September 30, 1995; and the fourth report (Rankin, 1998) includes water-level data collected from the period of record through 1997.…”

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 Cenozoic deposits that encompass the structural Rio Grande Rift within the basin. Drinking-water supplies throughout the Albuquerque Basin are obtained solely from groundwater resources. The population of the basin grew from 419,000 in 1980 to 563,600 in 1990, a 34-percent increase, and resulted in increases in water demand and groundwater pumpage. From April 1982 through September 1983, a network of wells was established to monitor changes in groundwater levels throughout the Albuquerque Basin. Waterlevel data are currently (1998) collected at 88 wells and piezometers. This report includes waterlevel data from most of these sites for the period of
