The
Rio Grande is the only major source of renewable water in the Paso del
Norte region of the Southwestern United States. In order to be able to
use the available river supply as effectively as possible and manage related
environmental resources, a system for monitoring the river and water quality,
with as much "real-time" information as possible, is highly
desirable. An up-to-date system of water flow and real-time water quality
monitoring is necessary to more efficiently deliver specific amounts of
water to the end users within acceptable water quality limits.
With
the generous financial support of the El Paso Water Utilities and the
United States Army Corp of Engineers, the Paso del Norte Watershed Council
has facilitated the development of the Paso del Norte Cooperative Database
Project (click for fact sheet). Within The Project, staff at New Mexico State University, Texas
A&M University, the University of Texas at El Paso and la Universidad
Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez have compiled water supply and quality data
for surface flows in the river between Elephant Butte Reservoir and Fort
Quitman and provide access to these data via the Internet-based database
and GIS product hosted at this website. The NMSU Department of Geography, Spatial Applications Research Center is serving this website via their primary server.
