How this group compares

What happened to these permits

643 of the 1,430 permits decreed for irrigation in Prowers County ended with a well the Division was told about — 45.0%. And 169 expired without one: 11.8%.

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.
