  <dc:description>Bernalillo County officials recognize the importance of &#13;
monitoring water quality and ground-water levels in rapidly &#13;
developing areas. For this reason, water-quality and ground-water-&#13;
level data were collected from 87 wells, 3 springs, and the Ojo &#13;
Grande Acequia in the east mountain area of Bernalillo County &#13;
between January 1990 and June 1999. The water samples were &#13;
analyzed for selected nutrient species; total organic carbon; &#13;
major dissolved constituents; methylene blue active substances; &#13;
and dissolved arsenic. Analytical results were used to compute &#13;
hardness, sodium adsorption ratio, and dissolved solids. Specific &#13;
conductance, pH, air and water temperature, alkalinity, and &#13;
dissolved oxygen were measured in the field at the time of sample &#13;
collection. Ground-water levels were measured at the time of &#13;
sample collection.&#13;
&#13;
From January 1990 through June 1993, water-quality and ground-&#13;
water-level data were collected monthly from an initial set of 20 &#13;
wells; these data were published in a 1995 report. During 1995, &#13;
water samples and ground-water-level data were collected and &#13;
analyzed from the initial set of 20 wells and from an additional 31 &#13;
wells, 2 springs, and the Ojo Grande Acequia; these data were &#13;
published in a 1996 report. Additional water-quality and &#13;
ground-water-level data have been collected from sites in the east &#13;
mountain area: 34 wells and the acequia during 1997, 14 wells and &#13;
1 spring during 1998, and 6 wells during 1999.&#13;
&#13;
Water-quality and ground- water-level data collected in the &#13;
east mountain area during 1995 through 1999 are presented in &#13;
tables. In addition, temporal trends for ground-water levels, &#13;
concentrations of total and dissolved nitrite plus nitrate, &#13;
concentrations of dissolved chloride, and specific conductance &#13;
are presented for 20 selected wells in water-quality and water-&#13;
level hydrographs.</dc:description>
