and the fear of waiting until supplies
of drilling equipment are exhausted.
And, as is evident today, this increased
rate of drilling wells is, in itself, creat-
ing shortages in drilling supplies.
The accelerated irrigation develop-
ment within the sandhills area of
Bailey and Lamb Counties is reflected
in the large increase in well applica-
tions in those counties. The well ap-
plications tendered by only two large
farm corporations account for most of
these wells.
May Be Due To Shortages
The fact that so many of the wells
applied for are not completed may be
attributed to these shortages, and it
also may be traced to a delayed sched-
ule on the part of local drillers due to
a backlog of orders.
Additionally, expiration of the four
month period provided for in the per-
mit applications might be creating part
of the numerical increase in issued
permits.
Local irrigation well drillers say
they have not been so busy in years-
at least as long as their supplies are
adequate.
As the availability of supplies in-
creases, one might expect more wells
to be completed on the High Plains.
However, within the boundaries of the
Water District, certain spacing proce--dures must be followed.
This is, in itself, a conservation
measure in that it promotes orderly
drilling. Only time will tell how quick-
ly available well sites are developed.
Colorado Irrigators
Form Subdistrict
The following paragraphs, reprinted
from the October, 1973, issue of The
Colorado Water Congress Newsletter,
reveal that irrigators in other states are
becoming increasingly concerned with
the idea of control of groundwater on
the local level.
"District Water Judge Donald Car-
pen te-r, Greeley, Colorado, on July 26,
authorized irrigators belonging to the
Central Colorado Water Conservancy
District to form a ground water man-
agement subdistrict. The purpose of
the _ abdistrict is to enable the irriga-
tors to determine their own water
need and administer their own wells.
"Dave Miller, attorney for the
Water Conservancy District, said well
owners had a choice-they could join
the subdistrict and act as a body to
administer the water available to them
or go it alone. 'If they chose not to
organize, then it was inevitable that
their wells could be curtailed or shut
down,' he said."79
