# Irrigation well permits in Alamosa County, Colorado — 3,228

> The 3,228 wells permitted for irrigation in Alamosa County. Median depth 90 feet.

## Irrigation wells in Alamosa County

**3,228** of the 10,088 well permits in Alamosa County — 32.0% — are decreed for irrigation.

### How this group compares

Alamosa County holds 6.8% of
Colorado’s 47,689 irrigation permits, while
holding 1.7% of the register overall — so it is
**over-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 | **90 ft** | 600 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (1,993 permits, 62 %) |
| Yield | **450 gpm** | 1000 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (704 permits, 22 %) |
| Static water level | **10 ft** | 32 ft | 58 ft — lower here (1,416 permits, 44 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**1,632** of the 3,228 permits decreed for irrigation in Alamosa County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 50.6%. And
**532** expired without one: 16.5%.

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.
