The Española basin is considered a "critical groundwater basin" because it is the primary groundwater resource for the cities and surrounding urbanizing areas of Santa Fe, Española, Los Alamos, and eight Pueblo nations. Improving our understanding of the three-dimensional hydrogeologic and geologic frameworks of the basin is a requisite step toward better management of its ground water. Geologic and geophysical studies are key to developing this framework.
