New Mexico Seepage Study Geodatabase

A repository of seepage studies performed throughout New Mexico has been created to aid researchers in identifying available data on stream gains and losses. The Seepage Study Geodatabase will support hydrogeologic investigations, such as developing numerical models that simulate the interconnection between surface water and groundwater, understanding the fate of reservoir releases, and modeling the impact of pumping on stream flow. The Seepage Study Geodatabase is a resource containing digitized data that was not previously accessible. Two types of studies were compiled: (1) gaged seepage studies, based on measured inflows and outflows; and (2) estimated seepage investigations using broader streamsystem analyses from water quality, water level or average flow data.
