There is a large diversity in the amount and type of water data collected across the state and needed to inform water-related decisions. Data could be about surface water conditions (e.g., evaporation, soil moisture, precipitation, ecosystem health, and location of reservoirs/rivers/conveyances); ground water conditions (e.g., groundwater levels, locations and depths of wells, aquifer parameters, and geological formations); and related management processes (e.g., permits for use (type and quantity), measured diversions/extractions, amount in storage, water returns/injections, and water quality). Towards this end, the NM Water Data Catalog organizes datasets into 9 groups, spanning climate, ecosystems, energy, infrastructure, hazards as well as related water topics. Any single dataset can be tagged with one or more of these groups.
