The hydrogeologic conceptual model of the Española Basin has evolved with better understanding of the geologic framework, and over the last decade, numerous studies have been performed to further define the hydrogeologic framework, and to investigate specific areas of the Española Basin. However, has the understanding of surface water to groundwater interactions, recharge and discharge, and aquifer responses to pumping improved? What are the most important components of the Española Basin hydrogeologic conceptual model that need improvement? Will improvement of the conceptual model significantly change our understanding of the water budget or the way we will manage water resources? These are questions that need answers for any future studies to have meaning for the water planners and administrators that will use the results.
