Background/History of the Laboratory:
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) currently operates and
maintains approximately 221 data-collection sites in
New Mexico for acquiring information about surface-water, ground-water, water-quality, and precipitation
(8 of
these sites provide data for reservoirs). Of the 221 sites, 150 sites are equipped with satellite telemetry,
which
provide real-time data via GOES satellites and downlinks, which enables the posting of data to the Web
for
public dissemination.
