# Irrigation well permits in Rio Grande County, Colorado — 2,407

> The 2,407 wells permitted for irrigation in Rio Grande County. Median depth 100 feet.

## Irrigation wells in Rio Grande County

**2,407** of the 9,833 well permits in Rio Grande County — 24.5% — are decreed for irrigation.

### How this group compares

Rio Grande County holds 5.0% of
Colorado’s 47,689 irrigation permits, while
holding 1.6% 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 | **100 ft** | 200 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (1,943 permits, 81 %) |
| Yield | **1000 gpm** | 1350 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (477 permits, 20 %) |
| Static water level | **11 ft** | 46 ft | 58 ft — lower here (1,665 permits, 69 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**1,617** of the 2,407 permits decreed for irrigation in Rio Grande County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 67.2%. And
**155** expired without one: 6.4%.

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.
