What is the New Mexico Water Data Initiative?

We are a collaborative group working to modernize New Mexico’s water data as part of the Water Data Act. The people of New Mexico recognize the importance of a modern and agile water data infrastructure. Organized by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology, this multiyear effort will provide access to data on water quality, quantity, and usage in an open data framework to provide information critical to the responsible and responsive management of water in New Mexico.
