Figure 6. Taos Valley ground-water assessment. Faults influence ground-water distribution and flow paths in Taos Valley. Good bedrock/valley fill density contrast is favorable for gravity method; structural setting was ideal. Gravity data helped define faults buried beneath valley fill. Data were used by NM Bureau of Geology in water-resource assessment of fast-growing area. (Map from Bauer et al., 1999.)
