Abstract
The water resources of the Albuquerque metropolitan area are under
increasing scrutiny by Federal and State regulators. Because of a lack
of available low-flow data for use in addressing potential water-quality
problems, a project was established to collect low-flow water-quality
and discharge data. The project was initiated under a current cooperative
program between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Albuquerque Metropolitan
Arroyo Flood Control Authority. This report summarizes hydrologic data for
that project collected between October 31, 1990, and September 3, 1994, at
three sites in the lined channel network in northeast Albuquerque.
The data collection network consisted of three sampling sites on
Campus Wash, Embudo Arroyo, and the North Floodway Channel. The sites on
Campus Wash and the North Floodway Channel were established at existing
continuous-record streamflow-gaging stations; the Embudo Arroyo site was
established at the site of an abandoned streamflow-gaging station. Data
presented include site descriptions, instantaneous stream discharges
measured at the time of sampling, and the results of the chemical analyses
of the water-quality samples.
