Irrigation wells in Yuma County

4,622 of the 12,410 well permits in Yuma County — 37.2% — are decreed for irrigation.

How this group compares

Yuma County holds 9.7% of Colorado’s 47,689 irrigation permits, while holding 2.1% 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

What happened to these permits

243 of the 4,622 permits decreed for irrigation in Yuma County ended with a well the Division was told about — 5.3%. And 287 expired without one: 6.2%.

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.
