Taos Area Water Well Statistics
To gather this data we did the following:
1. Determined the Township/Range/Section from Latitude/Longitude
2. Used the New Mexico State Engineer Waters site to get the number of registered wells and average depth to water in FEET.
3. The selection of the coordinates was arbitrary within the area as defined by our Multiple Listing Service area breakdown. Only one survey section was chosen near the center of each area, so depths will vary outside that 640 acre section. Older wells could be retired. There can be wells not registered or errors in State Engineer database. This data is for general information only, is not warranted by this site, and should not be used to estimate any future well depths. ** ALL DEPTHS IN FEET**
