# Datasets — Kansas water use, merged and named

> 59,615 points of diversion with thirty-four years of reported use, county names resolved and the duplicate rows merged. Published prices.

## Datasets

The pages of this site are free and will stay free — a public fact belongs to nobody. What is sold is the work of compiling it.

The pages of this site are free and will stay free : **an official fact belongs to no one**. What is sold here is the compilation work — extracting the Kansas water use file, reconciling it, dating it, and delivering it in a usable form.

### Why the stream, not the snapshot

A new year of reports lands every spring, after the 1 March deadline. A
snapshot tells you where things stood; the difference between two tells you
which points went quiet and which came back — and on a file where five
quiet years matter legally, that difference is the signal.

### What is in it

Every field measured on the delivered rows. A ⚠️ marks work we did that
the source does not contain.

*Fields delivered and fill rate, measured on the rows actually delivered — not estimated*

| Field | Description | Filled |
|---|---|---|
| `pdiv_id` | The Survey's point-of-diversion number — the key | 100.0 % |
| `county` | ⚠️ ⚠️ Full county name, resolved from the two-letter abbreviation against the publisher's own table. 105 of 105, no unresolved codes | 100.0 % |
| `district` | Groundwater management district, or none | 100.0 % |
| `source` | Groundwater or surface water | 100.0 % |
| `af_1990 … af_2023` | ⚠️ ⚠️ Thirty-four annual figures, DEDUPLICATED — the raw layer ships each point twice and summing it doubles the water | 100.0 % |
| `acres_1990 … acres_2023` | ⚠️ ⚠️ Irrigated area, same treatment | 100.0 % |
| `af_moy10` | Ten-year average as the publisher computes it | 53.6 % |
| `zeros_consecutifs` | ⚠️ ⚠️ Longest run of consecutive years at 0 — a fact about the file, NOT a finding about the right | 100.0 % |
| `dernier_usage` | ⚠️ ⚠️ Last year above nought | 55.9 % |
| `af_max / an_max` | ⚠️ ⚠️ Highest year on file and which year | 100.0 % |
| `lien` | Link to the official record, where the layer carries one | 53.6 % |

The 6 fields marked ⚠️ **do not exist in the source** : we add them — a join, a normalisation, or a reconstructed history. That is the part a buyer cannot reproduce by downloading the official file.

⚠️ `zeros_consecutifs` is the column most likely to
be misused. Five or more consecutive zeros is the shape of the abandonment
rule in K.S.A. 82a-718, and **43,159** points show it —
but there are no blanks in this file, four causes of non-use are recognised
in law, and abandonment requires a hearing. Anyone building on this column
must carry that forward. [The full explanation](/zero.md).

⚠️ The coordinates are not in this dataset. They exist in the
source and are deliberately not carried.

### What it costs

- **Change feed — USD 300 / month**Or USD 3 000 a year. At every collection, what came in, went out or changed since the previous one. This is the part that does not age.
- **One slice — USD 90 / month**The feed restricted to a single county, for those who do not need the rest.
- **Full snapshot — USD 4 000, once**The state of the register on the day of delivery, every field included. Listed last on purpose : a snapshot ages.

**Not a consumer reporting agency.** This site
and the datasets sold from it are **not** consumer reports under
the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and must not be used to decide anyone's
eligibility for employment, credit, insurance, housing, or any other purpose
covered by the FCRA. If you need a background check, use a screening company
that operates as a consumer reporting agency.
