Attributes include well construction information, historic water use information, and flags indicating assumptions made for modeling purposes. Data were compiled from various sources; see Supplemental Information for details. This dataset was created as part of a U.S. Geological Survey study, done in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, to be used as input data for the Rio Grande transboundary integrated hydrologic model and water-availability analysis, New Mexico and Texas, United States, and Northern Chihuahua, Mexico. The intended uses of this dataset include, but are not limited to, natural resource modeling, mapping, and visualization applications.

Albuquerque New Mexico 87113 United States 505-830-7988 abritchie@usgs.gov Compilation of this dataset and the associated metadata was done in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Microsoft Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601) Service Pack 1; ESRI ArcCatalog 10.3.1.4959 No formal attribute accuracy tests were conducted. Verification was done by interactive on-screen review. Frequency tests were performed on all feature class attributes to check that no features were unlabeled, misspelled, or inconsistent. The logical consistency topologically is clean. Chain-node topology is present. Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the dataset has not been conducted. A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the dataset has not been conducted. The location and attribute information for municipal and industrial wells was compiled from New Mexico and Texas well databases, and various reports (Finch, S.T., Jr., John Shomaker & Associates, Inc., written commun., December 14, 2015; Finch and McCoy, 2015; Hayes, 2015; IBWC, 2011; Johnson, 2001; McCoy and Peery, 2008; Myers and Orr, 1985; NMOSE, 2015a; NMOSE, 2015b; Nickerson, 1995; SSPA, 2016; SDR Database, 2015; TWDB Groundwater Database, 2015; TWDB WDI Groundwater Data Viewer, 2015). Attribute information consisted of well depth, depth to perforated intervals, well diameter, pumping capacity, date the well was drilled, date the well began pumping, date the well stopped pumping, date the well was destroyed, and historical use of the well. As described in this metadata record, assumptions were made to fill-in missing attribute information for wells. Operational history information (drill dates, active pumping periods, and destruction dates, if applicable) was used to construct estimates of monthly pumping for each well. Fifteen municipal and industrial wells had drilling dates after the end of the RGTIHM simulation period, twelve in 2015 and the other three from 2046 onward, likely due to a data-entry error in Hayes (2015). These 15 wells were not considered to be present or actively pumping during the RGTIHM simulation period. Without additional information about operational history, municipal and industrial pumping in Mexico was assumed to begin in 1970 at a few livestock and services wells at rates based on extraction volumes measured at these wells in 2010 (IBWC, 2011). Municipal and industrial extractions in Mexico associated with the water-supply well field began in mid-May 2010 (IBWC, 2011), and were held constant at these rates through the end of the RGTIHM simulation period in December 2014. 2016 Vector Entity point 1874 NAD 1983 UTM Zone 13N 0.9996 -105.0 0.0 1640416.66666667 0.0 coordinate pair 0.0001 0.0001 US foot D North American 1983 GRS 1980 6378137.0 298.257222101 RGTIHM_Wells_MnI Point Feature Class ESRI FID Internal feature number ESRI Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated Shape Feature geometry ESRI Coordinates defining the features WELLID Unique well identification code User-defined Code made up of letters and/or numbers State_Numb State well identification code Hayes (2015), SDR Database (2015), and TWDB Groundwater Database (2015) Code made up of letters and/or numbers.
