Embudo, New Mexico
Completed 1888
A tiny village on the Rio Grande River in northern New Mexico became the training center for the first American hydrographers and provided the first stream-gauging operations of the U.S. Geological Survey. To plan any water system, it is necessary to know the amount of water flowing in the stream or river at all times - including low, normal, and flood conditions.
To create streamflow measurement techniques, engineers designed gauging equipment and brought hydrographers to Embudo to learn to use these tools. The activities performed at Embudo led to the gauging of many of the nation's waterways, providing nationally consistent, prescribed standards for the scientific evaluation of surface-water resources and crucial data for land use and urban planning decisions.
Facts
- To measure their first section of the Rio Grande, engineers built a raft, using four empty barrels for floats, and stretched a rope across the river to secure the raft for soundings and velocity measurements.
- Since no current meters were available, the engineers initially designed various float measurement tools. Later, levels were run along the river to determine its slope and formulas were used to compute the discharge.
- Each day a student would gather meteorological data. He would take barometer readings each hour, take the temperature of the river twice and day, and determine the amount of water evaporation by checking the level in the cook's bread pan.

This is a mangled cactus I found near sunset at the bast of Embudo canyon in the foothills of Albuquerque.

Perennial and rhizomatous plant to 1,5 m tall. Rhizome oblong, very large. With basal leaves, sagittate and long petiolate, to 45 cm long. Flowers in upright inflorescences, shaped spadix 4-9 cm long, yellow, surrounded by a white spate (modified bract) funneliform, to 25 cm long. Prefers to live in margins of streams and ponds. Plant native to South Africa, live from sea level up to 2250 m altitude. There are several cultivars, in Iturraran is the cultivar ‘Green Goddes’, with the species in zone 5.
I had both cameras out and the wind began to kick up. Only one tripod is sturdy enough to withstand it. I'm anxious to see what's on Camera A, still recording.
This photo was taken in Embudo, NM at a small country store between Santa Fe and Taos. They had a lot of old Route 66 stuff and I liked this pic of old gas pumps that included an old Packard in the foreground. It was still a sharp car even with the rust and peeling paint... A real step back in time.
Ran across this gem of a museum while driving between Taos and Santa Fe on Highway 68. If you are ever in this area, you need to stop by.
EMBUDO, N.M., -- USGS Hydrologist George Seiber holds up two different instruments for measuring stream flow. The left one uses acoustics to measure; the instrument on the right is a traditional mechanical current meter.
As part of 2014’s Earth Day events, the USGS held a celebration for the 125th anniversary of the Embudo streamgage. The establishment of the gage at Embudo marked the beginning of systematic streamgaging in the United States. The information from river and stream gages is a matter of public safety, environmental protection and wise economic development. The data is used to forecast floods, manage and allocate water resources and design engineering structures such as dams, irrigation structures and bridges.
