How this group compares

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

What happened to these permits

1,372 of the 2,625 permits decreed for irrigation in Morgan County ended with a well the Division was told about — 52.3%. And 69 expired without one: 2.6%.

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. What an expired permit does and does not mean.
