    High capacity wells are defined as those using over 100,000 gallons
    per day. That works out to just under 70 gallons per minute. I
    couldn't believe my math so looked at the law. <https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/code/admin_code/nr/800/812/I/09/4>

    Irrigation wells in my area of Nebraska are usually 500 gpm to 1000
    gpm. Most are probably in the 700 to 800 gpm range. Wells have to
    have flow meters.
    Natural Resources Districts in Nebraska are responsible for
    enforcing the laws regarding irrigation. I've never heard of anyone
    being ordered to stop irrigating.
    Farmers have been fined for irrigating roads but that goes through
    county court. Sheriffs write tickets for that kind of thing.
