The RSJIHM is a sequentially linked, integrated hydrologic model that was developed to provide a tool for analyzing the hydrologic system response to historical water use and potential changes in water supplies and demands in the Rio San Jose Basin and surrounding areas, New Mexico, United States. The water rights of the Pueblos of Acoma and Laguna are being adjudicated, along with other users in the basin, on the basis of past and present water use in the State of New Mexico, ex rel., State Engineer v. Kerr-McGee Corporation, and others (Utton Transboundary Resources Center, 2015). The RSJIHM is an integration of the U.S. Geological Survey developed PRMS and MODFLOW-NWT and provides a tool to help support long-term planning and management decisions regarding the basin’s surface-water and groundwater resources. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in the U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2023-5028 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20235028).
