WR 573 Summer 2010 Field Course Water Resources Assessment of the Cimarron River and Evaluation of Water Quality Characteristics at the Maxwell National Wildlife Refuge - June 2010 Abstract: During the second week of June 2010, the UNM Masters of Water Resources students, staff, and collaborators studied the Cimarron River watershed from its head waters above Eagle Nest Lake to its confluence with the Canadian River near Taylor Springs, NM, and the Maxwell National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) near Maxwell, NM. The investigation included measuring flows and water quality characteristics at 34 surface water sites in the two study areas. The main objectives of the study were to conduct a river assessment of the Cimarron River and evaluate water quality characteristics and playa lake sediment chemistry at the Maxwell NWR. It is expected that this report will serve as a basis for future research on the hydrology, water quality, and to a lesser extent, the socioeconomic characteristics of the river and its watershed and the Maxwell NWR. The report is divided into two sections, the first second describes the work done on the Cimarron River watershed and the second section describes work done at the Maxwell NWR. FULL TEXT |
WR 573 Summer 2009 Field Course Water Resources Assessment of the Mora River - June 2009 Abstract: During the second week of June 2009, the UNM Masters of Water Resources students, staff, and collaborators studied the Mora River watershed by measuring flows and water quality characteristics at over 20 surface water sites in the watershed. The main objective of the study was to conduct a river assessment of the Mora River and its corresponding acequia systems. It is expected that this report will serve as a baseline for future research on the hydrology, water quality, and to a lesser extent, the socioeconomic characteristics of the river and its watershed.

WR 573 Summer 2008 Field Course Water Resources Assessment of the Sapello River - June 2008 Abstract: The Sappello river drains a watershed of approximately 294 miles located principally in San Miguel county of northern New Mexico. The river flows east out of the Sangre de Christo mountains, and joins the Mora River, a tributary to the Canadian River, near Watrous, NM. The watershed was the subject of an intensive three week field study by students at the University of New Mexico who were enrolled in the WR 573, Field Methods class. The study involved collecting information on the hydrology, water quality, and economic conditions in the watershed. Emphasis was placed on determination of the aquatic health of the river including assessment of the stream’s hydrology, geomorphology, riparian vegetation, benthic macroinvertebrate population, and water chemistry. |
