This study developed an initial hydrological characterization of and an analysis of the impacts of climate variability and groundwater dynamics on the Anderson Ranch property (Taos County, New Mexico, U.S.). The Anderson Ranch property supports freshwater ponds and emergent wetlands, and it was recently transferred from Chevron Mining, Inc. to the Bureau of Land Management as a part of a court-ordered settlement to restore the wetlands on the property.
