Elephant Butte Reservoir, on the Rio Grande in southern New Mexico, began 2023 up from last year. But that's not saying much #nmwater

After a good start, snowpack in the Rio Grande headwaters is lagging #nmwater #version=167&elements=R&networks=!&states=!&basins=!&hucs=&minElevation=&maxElevation=&elementSelectType=all&activeOnly=true&activeForecastPointsOnly=false&hucLabels=false&hucIdLabels=false&hucParameterLabels=false&stationLabels=&overlays=&hucOverlays=&basinOpacity=100&basinNoDataOpacity=0&basemapOpacity=100&maskOpacity=0&mode=data&openSections=dataElement,parameter,date,basin,options,elements,location,networks&controlsOpen=true&popup=&popupMulti=&popupBasin=170200&base=esriNgwm&displayType=basin&basinType=6&dataElement=WTEQ&depth=-8¶meter=PCTPORMED&frequency=DAILY&duration=I&customDuration=1&dayPart=E&monthPart=E&forecastPubDay=1&forecastExceedance=50&useMixedPast=true&seqColor=1&divColor=3&scaleType=D&scaleMin=&scaleMax=&referencePeriodType=POR&referenceBegin=1981&referenceEnd=2010&minimumYears=20&hucAssociations=true&relativeDate=-1&lat=38.255&lon=-95.713&zoom=6.0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/wcc…

Above average inflows right now to Elephant Butte Reservoir, giving us a little bit of an #nmwater breather after a tough few years #inflow_volume/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">usbr.gov/uc/water/hydro…

The impact of the last few years of low Rio Grande flows are really apparent in Albuquerque aquifer data - setback for our sustained recovery (this is my neighborhood USGS monitoring well) #nmwater

Elephant Butte has gained 30kaf in the last month (currently holding 163kaf)! And there's around 19kaf of P&P water coming, plus everything else the state is working to send down. #nmwater

Soil moisture heading into winter shows dry conditions across New Mexico's San Juan-Chama Project headwaters #nmwater (and much of the #ColoradoRiver basin) source: cbrfc.noaa.gov/rmap/grid800/i…

Too early to get excited about this winter's snowpack, but we're still excited: #nmwater
