RIO GRANDE BASIN 143 08328500 JEMEZ CANYON RESERVOIR NEAR BERNALILLO, NM ° ° 1 1 LOCATION.--Lat 35 23'40", long 106 32'50", in SW ⁄4 SW ⁄4 sec.32, T.14 N., R.4 E., Sandoval County, Hydrologic Unit 13020202, at corner of outlet works control tower of Jemez Canyon Dam on Jemez River, 2.8 mi upstream from mouth, and 6.0 mi north of Bernalillo. DRAINAGE AREA.--l,034 mi2. PERIOD OF RECORD.--October 1953 to September 1965 (monthend contents only), October 1965 to current year. GAGE.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (levels by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers). REMARKS.--Reservoir is formed by earthfill dam, completed Oct. 19, 1953. Capacity, 172,800 acre-ft, from capacity table adapted Jan. 1, 1999, between elevations 5,125.0 ft, sill of outlet gates, and 5,252.3 ft, operating deck of spillway. Maximum controlled capacity, 102,700 acre-ft at elevation 5,232.0 ft (floor of spillway, which is located about 0.8 mi south of dam). Capacity by original survey was 189,100 acre-ft. Original plan for reservoir operation was to desilt all flow above 30 ft3/s by storage for one day before releasing to Rio Grande, and for possible detention during flood stage on Rio Grande. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers satellite telemetry at station. COOPERATION.--Records provided by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.--Maximum contents, 72,110 acre-ft, June 1, 1987, elevation, 5,220.24 ft; no storage most of time prior to Mar. 1979 and Oct. 27, 2001, to present. EXTREMES FOR CURRENT YEAR.--No storage all year.

DRAINAGE AREA.--1,038 mi2. PERIOD OF RECORD.--March 1936 to January 1938, March 1943 to current year. Published as "Jemez Creek" prior to 1948, and as "near Bernalillo" prior to 1954. REVISED RECORDS.--WSP 1178: 1949. WSP 1212: 1950. WSP 1512: 1936, 1943, 1945, 1947-48, 1949(M), 1950. WSP 1732: Drainage area. GAGE.--Water-stage recorder with satellite telemetry. Datum of gage is 5,095.60 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers bench mark). Prior to Apr. 24, 1951, at site 0.8 mi upstream at datum 24.51 ft higher. Apr. 24, 1951, to June 25, 1958, at site 37 ft upstream at datum 4.40 ft above present datum. Supplementary water-stage recorder at gages on Jemez Canyon Dam at datum 5,125.00 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers bench mark) used at times since Jan. 1953. REMARKS.--Records poor. Subsequent to October 1953, flow at this station can be completely regulated by Jemez Canyon Reservoir (station 08328500). However, reservoir is designed essentially for desilting and flood control rather than storage. Diversions for irrigation of about 3,000 acres upstream from station. EXTREMES OUTSIDE PERIOD OF RECORD.--A flood in 1900 was probably less than 16,000 ft3/s but highest observed outside period of record.
