New Mexico Unified Water Data: Data Integration Engine

This package provides a command line interface to New Mexico Water Data Initiaive's Data Integration Engine. This tool is used to integrate the water data from multiple sources.

Installation

pip install nmuwd

Usage

Parameter Data

To obtain parameter summary or time series data, use

die weave {parameter}

where {parameter} is the name of the parameter whose data is to be retrieved, followed by the desired output type, excluded data sources, date filters, and geographic filters. {parameter} is case-insensitive.

Available Parameters

The following parameters are currently available for retrieval:

• waterlevels
• arsenic
• bicarbonate
• calcium
• carbonate
• chloride
• fluoride
• magnesium
• nitrate
• ph
• potassium
• silica
• sodium
• sulfate
• tds
• uranium

Output

The --output option is required and used to set the output type:

--output summary

• A summary table consisting of location information as well as summary statistics for the parameter of interest for every location that has observations.

--output timeseries_unified

• A single table consisting of time series data for all locations for the parameter of interest.
• A single table of site data that contains information such as latitude, longitude, and elevation

--output timeseries_separated

• Separate time series tables for all locations for the parameter of interest.
• A single table of site data that contains information such as latitude, longitude, and elevation

The data is saved to a directory titled output in the current working directory. If the directory output already exists, then the output directory will be called output_1. If enumerated output directories already exist, then the output directory will be called output_{n} where n is equal to the greatest existing integer suffix +1.

A log of the inputs and processes, called die.log, is also saved to the output directory.

Source Inclusion & Exclusion

The Data Integration Engine enables the user to obtain groundwater level and groundwater quality data from a variety of sources. Data from sources are automatically included in the output if available unless specifically excluded. The following flags are available to exclude specific data sources:

• --no-bernco to exclude Bernalillo County (BernCo) data
• --no-bor to exclude Bureau of of Reclamation (Bor) data
• --no-cabq to exclude City of Albuquerque (CABQ) data
• --no-ebid to exclude Elephant Butte Irrigation District (EBID) data
• --no-nmbgmr-amp to exclude New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (NMBGMR) Aquifer Mapping Program (AMP) data
• --no-nmed-dwb to exclude New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) Drinking Water Bureau (DWB) data
• --no-nmose-isc-seven-rivers to exclude New Mexico Office of State Engineer (NMOSE) Interstate Stream Commission (ISC) Seven Rivers data
• --no-nmose-roswell to exclude New Mexico Office of State Engineer (NMOSE) Roswell data
• --no-nwis to exclude USGS NWIS data
• --no-pvacd to exclude Pecos Valley Artesian Convservancy District (PVACD) data
• --no-wqp to exclude Water Quality Portal (WQP) data

Geographic Filters

The following flags can be used to geographically filter data:

-- county {county name}

-- bbox 'x1 y1, x2 y2'

Date Filters

The following flags can be used to filter by dates:

--start-date YYYY-MM-DD 

--end-date YYYY-MM-DD
