> The 2,476 wells permitted for irrigation in Saguache County. Median depth 102 feet.

## Irrigation wells in Saguache County

**2,476** of the 8,803 well permits in Saguache County — 28.1% — are decreed for irrigation.

### How this group compares

Saguache County holds 5.2% of
Colorado’s 47,689 irrigation permits, while
holding 1.5% 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 | **102 ft** | 325 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (1,675 permits, 68 %) |
| Yield | **990 gpm** | 1300 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (516 permits, 21 %) |
| Static water level | **11 ft** | 56 ft | 58 ft — lower here (1,361 permits, 55 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**1,415** of the 2,476 permits decreed for irrigation in Saguache County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 57.1%. And
**240** expired without one: 9.7%.

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.
