Equus Well 2-39180-F is a well on South Platte River in Colorado. This page is its public record: the water it has a right to, whether it may take it today, and its history, compiled from the Colorado Division of Water Resources.

Where this page's figures come from
Generated 2026-10-30 14:01 by Hydrohistorian. Sources: DWR HydroBase snapshot HydroBase_CO_20260928 (history) + CDSS REST (current), USGS NWIS cross-checks. Engine v0.5.0 (3876149) — every figure regenerates from this named code version and data image.
In short
In a median year over its last 4 recorded years it diverts 603 acre-feet.
Assembled from the figures on this page — every number above is checked against them before it is shown (2 checked). The detail, with its method, is in the cards below.
Well permits on file (2)
DWR ties these well permits to WDID 0110335. A permit is the authorization to construct and use the well — not a water right, and separate from the decrees on this page (three things called “well”).
Download this structure
Everything on this page as data you can work with — and a README that makes it citable: the HydroBase snapshot it was built from, the build commit, what every column means, the method behind each derived figure, and that method's stated limits.
Log in to download the record Print / save as PDF
Downloads (the .zip and six CSV tables) need a free account — create one or log in. Everything in them is on this page.
Why the account? It is not a paywall and not a mailing list. Automated scrapers were requesting tens of thousands of these files a day, and each one rebuilds this whole record, which slowed the site for the people reading it. An account is the simplest way to keep downloads open to people and closed to bots.
What is in the bundle
rights.csv— every decreed right, most senior first, with admin numbers, dates, amounts, uses and case numbers.annual_use.csv— recorded diversion by year, with releases accounted separately.curtailment_now.csv— each right's current priority status and how often it was out across analog years.court_cases.csv— the cases attached to its rights.co_parties.csv— the other structures that were parties to those cases. Not available anywhere else.call_climatology.csv— how often each right has been out of priority by week of season, with confidence intervals and the seasons the record could actually judge.README.txt— provenance, methods, limits, disclaimer, and links back to DWR's own records for verification.

Which of its rights are out of priority?
The outlook for the weeks ahead is not computable for this structure: no decreed right on file, so there is no priority to test.
Water-court filings naming this structure
1 application in the monthly water-court resumes explicitly reference this WDID. The resume is the earliest public notice of a new claim (C.R.S. 37-92-302) — years before anything reaches the decree record below. Most applications name structures by name rather than WDID, so absence here is weak evidence of absence.

Recorded use (last 4 years on record)
Years far under the decreed amount? That gap has a name — paper water vs. wet water, explained on this structure.
In a median year this structure has a recorded diversion of 603 AF. Its most recent year on record, 2011, came in at 551 AF — 91% of that, and 2nd lowest of the 4 years with a recorded volume.
| Year | Diverted (AFA volume: one acre covered a foot deep, about 326,000 gallons -- roughly a suburban household's outdoor use for a year.) | Compared with its own record | Days recorded | Peak (cfs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 550 | 1st lowest of 4 · 91% of median | 213 | 2.1 |
| 2009 | 902 | 4th lowest of 4 · 150% of median | 153 | 5.4 |
| 2010 | 655 | 3rd lowest of 4 · 109% of median | 187 | 3.8 |
| 2011 | 551 | 2nd lowest of 4 · 91% of median | 185 | 3.2 |
How good is our record of it?
Grade B (7/10 points) — the components below are the finding; the letter alone is not.
The rubric, component by component
| Check | State | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| identity | complete | name, type, and water source all on file |
| decreed rights | absent | no water rights cached for this WDID |
| diversion record | present | 738 measured days; currency unknown (no data-coverage date to compare against) |
| record continuity | continuous | 98% of the irrigation seasons in 2008-2011 carry measured days |
| published-record stability | stable | no upstream revisions recorded against this structure |
