Abstract: To better understand changes in groundwater storage and groundwater elevations, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the City of Rio Rancho, New Mexico, carried out a multiyear groundwater monitoring project.Groundwater-level data were collected at 27 locations, including sites having multiple wells screened at different depths and those having long-term records.A repeat microgravity network of 20 stations was established, and surveys were carried out three times per year.The microgravity method provides a direct, quantitative measurement of mass change caused by aquifer filling or draining.Data collected
