# Irrigation well permits in Adams County, Colorado — 1,926

> The 1,926 wells permitted for irrigation in Adams County. Median depth 52 feet.

## Irrigation wells in Adams County

**1,926** of the 26,561 well permits in Adams County — 7.3% — are decreed for irrigation.

### How this group compares

Adams County holds 4.0% of
Colorado’s 47,689 irrigation permits, while
holding 4.4% of the register overall — so it is
**under-represented** in this
use.

Irrigation means watering land, at the volume the permit allows.

*Medians, on the permits where the Division was told — never a mean, which a few industrial wells would carry away*

| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Colorado median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth | **52 ft** | 123 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (1,292 permits, 67 %) |
| Yield | **500 gpm** | 1100 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (354 permits, 18 %) |
| Static water level | **26 ft** | 65 ft | 58 ft — lower here (1,074 permits, 56 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**891** of the 1,926 permits decreed for irrigation in Adams County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 46.3%. And
**146** expired without one: 7.6%.

An expired permit is the trap in a rural sale. A seller can
produce a permit that lapsed years ago, and a permit is not a water right
— the two are separate, and a purchase turns on both.
