This is a National Water Conditions station.
Comments and qualifications on the data:
   This station is marginal for climate analysis purposes.  It is subject to the effects of de-watering projects,
   trans-mountain diversions, ground-water withdrawals, and diversions for irrigation.  It is included because it is
   the best available station on the Rio Grande.


Daily and longer averages for 63 water years are acceptable (all years except partial years).
A water year with acceptable data is indicated by an asterisk in the time line, which spans 1874 through 1988.
