Monitoring Well Water in New Mexico

Monitoring water wells regularly is important, especially in arid and semi-arid regions like New Mexico. Learn about measuring depth of water in wells, collecting water samples to send off for laboratory testing, and keeping these records over time. Testing water quality and quantity can help agricultural producers and homeowners make informed decisions about their wells and underlying aquifers.
