Water-quality and ground-water-level data, Bernalillo County, central New Mexico, 1995

January 1, 1996

Water-quality and ground-water-level data were collected in
two areas of eastern Bernalillo County in central New Mexico
between March and July of 1995. Fifty-one wells, two springs, and
the Ojo Grande Acequia in the east mountain area of Bernalillo
County and nine wells in the northeast area of the city of
Albuquerque were sampled. The water samples were analyzed for
selected nutrient species; total organic carbon; major dissolved
constituents; dissolved arsenic, boron, iron, and manganese; and
methylene blue active substances. Analytical results were used to
compute hardness, sodium adsorption ratio, and dissolved solids.
Specific conductance, pH, temperature, and alkalinity were
measured in the field at the time of sample collection. Ground-
water-level and well-depth measurements were made at the time of
sample collection when possible. Water-quality data, ground-
water-level data, and well-depth data are presented in tabular
form.
