Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith a report containing the compila- tion of monthly discharge records on all streams in New Mexico where game have been computed, from all available reliable sources, from 1888, the date of the establishment of the Hydrographic Instruction Camp at Embudo (10th Annual Report U. S. G. S., part 2, page 79) to December 31, 1917. Respectfully yours, JAMES A. FRENCH, State Engineer. SURFACE WATER OF NEW MEXICO 1888 - 1917 I N TRODUOTION This compilation of the monthly discharge of all streams in New Mexico, where same have been computed, is published to fill a long felt want for such a book of reference ; as it is a difficult and at times an impossible matter for the average engineer or other person interested to get to a complete set of Water Supply Papers, Bulletins and Annual Re- ports of the U. S. G. S. and the records of hydrographic surveys made by the Territorial or State Engineer. The references given at the foot of the description of each station are for the benefit of those who may be interested in the daily gage heights and discharges. In some cases prior to 1903, the references are not given where the data published consists of gage heights, measurements or de- scriptive matter only; but anyone who desires to make a detailed study of any station will find a complete index of the publications of the II. S. G. S. prior to 1903, in Water Supply Paper 119. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In compiling this book, we have used the Annual Reports of the U. S. G. S., the Water Supply Papers and Bulletins of the U. S. G. S., the Reports of the U. S. R. S., the papers published by the Department of State, in reference to Equitable Distribution of the Waters of the Rio Grande, the reports of the State Engineer of Colorado and of the Terri- torial and State Engineers of New Mexico. REVISIONS In some cases the U. S. G. S. have revised estimates originally pub- lished, in later years upon discovery of mistakes in rating, gage heights or interpretation of data ; in most instances the revised figures are pub- lished in this book, and, where they were not, suitable explanatory notes are given. Where revisions of original figures have been made simply to conform to a standard method of computation with reference to the number of significant figures, the revisions have been disregarded and the figures printed as originally published. The most notable cases of revision are the earlier winter records of 10 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF NEW MEXICO, 1888-1917 the Rio Grande at Del Norte and Lobatos, and we have printed the re- vised figures with explanatory notes. These revisions were necessary owing to the fact that in the earlier years the men who did stream gaging work did not take into account the variation of gage heights dur- ing the winter months caused by either ice cover or freezing on the sur- face or in the bottom of the channel. It is not unlikely that some day the winter records for streams in the San Juan River Basin for the earlier years will be revised for the same reason. A few mistakes made in printing have been discovered in the 1912 and 1915 reports of this office and are referred to at the proper place in explanatory notes. DIVISION OF WORK The various reports from which the information contained in this book were taken have been gathered together in this office at various times since the writer was appointed State Engineer in 1912; but the manuscript was assembled, checked and edited, and this report printed under the direction of Robt. L. Cooper, Assistant Engineer in charge of the stream gaging and hydrographic survey work. ALAMOGORDO BASIN RIO TULAROSA NEAR TULAROSA, N. MEX. Location.

CANADIAN RIVER AT LOGAN, N. MEX. Location This station was established June 29, 1904, at the bridge of the Chi- cago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad one mile west of the depot at Logan. After the flood of October, 1904, the gage was moved to a temporary high- way bridge about 750 feet below the old gage. It was discontinued Febru- ary 26, 1905, and re-established at the original location December 22, 1908. Automatic recording gage was installed August 5, 1910, at a poin.t three- quarters of a mile above the bridge. Records available. June 29, 1904, to February 26, 1905; December 22, 1908, to May 20, 1914. Drainage area. About 12,000 square miles. References U S.

MEX. The source of the water passing this stat'on is a spring situated in the south- western part of the town. The water rises in the bottom of a large, enclosed basin, whence it escapes through a subterranean, fissure about 400 feet in length, appearing finally at the surface near the center of the town. The amount of the flow varies considerably with the seasons, and from year to year. Sometimes it exceeds the capacity of the underground outlet, in which case, after rising to a depth of thirty feet or more, it flows over a low place in the rim of the basin and reaches the arroyo a short distance above the gage. Location. In the southwestern part of the town of Manaano. Records available. July 17, 1915, to December 31, 1917. References.

NOTE. The water supply for the town of Las Vegas is diverted about a mile and a half above the station. Beginning a short distance above the gage and extending 1 upstream a distance of aoout two miles, is a series 01 nine reservoirs belonging to the Agua Pura Co., in which water is stored for the production of ice. These have no effect on the irrigating capacity of the stream, as the water, which is stored only between October and March, is comparatively small in quantity. The intake of the Sanguijuela reservoir project, the property of the town of j^as Vegas, is about one-half mile below the station. There are diversions through small private ditches for the ir- rigation of about 1500 acres between the station and the mouth of the Gal- linas. Monthly discharge of Gallinas River near Las Vegas, N.

Location. At a highway bridge, about Sec 29, T. 40 N., R. 5 E, 6 miles west of Del Norte, a short distance below the mouth of Wolf Creek. Records available. April 16, 1908, to December 31, 1917. From July 1, 1889, to November 30, 1906, a station was maintained about 4 miles below* the present station and just above Los Pinos Creek. The flow at the two points is not directly comparable, as a number of small streams contri- bute water dur'ng certain seasons, and a small amount of water is diverted for irrigation. The record for both stations, however, is given below under the head of "Rio Grande near Del Norte." Drainage area. Approximately 1,400 square miles. References. U. S.
