Privacy

No accounts, no tracking, no names, and no coordinates on any page.

What we collect from visitors

Nothing automatic. No accounts, no advertising, no analytics script, no cookie set by this site. Searches run in your browser against static files.

What we collect when you write to us

The forms send what you type to Formspree, which forwards it to our mailbox: your email address and the details you give about land or a right.

We use it to answer you and, where you asked, to look for Kansas water lawyers and consultants and pass your request on. We recommend nobody and we are nobody’s agent. We have no arrangement with any firm today; we are gathering these requests in order to go and find them. If and when we are paid for doing so, it will say so here. Say so in the message and we pass nothing on. Ask us and we delete what you sent.

The points, and the people behind them

This site republishes a public file from the Kansas Geological Survey.

There is no name in it. The layer carries none, and we downloaded none.

No page carries coordinates. They exist in the source and we do not request them. A point of diversion sits on somebody’s land, and a map of who irrigates what is not what this site is for.

No page says a right is unused or abandoned. That would be a claim about somebody’s property that the data does not support — for three separate reasons.

Having your record removed

If you are named on this site and would rather not be, write to us and we will remove you. You do not have to explain why, and we will not ask.

Two things this cannot do, and we say so plainly rather than let you find out later: it does not change the official register, which is where the record actually lives; and it does not remove you from anyone else's copy of the same public data.
