The residents of the Albuquerque metropolitan area rely in part on groundwater for domestic, municipal, and industrial use. An understanding of changes in groundwater levels and groundwater storage in the aquifer is necessary to achieve groundwater management goals set by the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (referred to here as the Water Authority). Periodic manual and continuous automatic water-level measurements in wells and maps of the water-level elevation surface, or water table, derived from these data are essential tools for understanding the groundwater resources of the region. This report describes the methods used and the sources of data for water-table maps of the Albuquerque area that have been prepared by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (NMBGMR) for the Water Authority annually since 2020.
