Healy Collaborative Groundwater Monitoring Network

The Healy Collaborative Groundwater Monitoring Network is a comprehensive statewide well measurement system operated by the Aquifer Mapping Program that actively expands groundwater monitoring capabilities across New Mexico, with a primary focus on rural and under-monitored regions throughout the state. This network compiles groundwater level data from wells measured through various methods including pressure transducers, acoustic measurements, and manual readings, while also integrating data from regional monitoring networks to create a unified statewide dataset. The publicly accessible groundwater level data serves multiple stakeholders including mutual domestic water systems, private domestic well owners, and water management decision-makers by providing essential information for tracking water level changes, making informed pumping and irrigation decisions, managing water resources, applying for funding, and identifying influences on local water supplies. Participation in the network is free and open to well owners, water systems, and small monitoring networks willing to contribute accurate water level measurements, with the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (NMBGMR) providing equipment and support for continuous monitoring devices or manual measurements on an annual basis for wells in high-priority areas.
