Delaware River (Delaware River)
16 water rights in Jefferson County, Kansas, with priority dates from March 14, 1956 to February 27, 2025.
Listed in priority order. When Delaware River (Delaware River) runs short, the rights near the top of this list are filled first and the ones at the bottom are the first asked to stop.

Sources are matched by name within the county, so two different streams with the same name would share this page.
