  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Low Temperature Geothermal Resource Management Author: Forcella, L. S. Year: 1984 Low temperature geothermal fluid is defined in OAR Chapter 690, Division 65 as any ground water used for its thermal characteristics that is encountered in a well with a bottom hole temperature less than 250°F (I 21°C). As such, low temperature geothermal resources are considered part of Oregon's ground water resources and are managed by the Oregon Water Resources Department (WRD). Use of ground water for its thermal properties is considered a beneficial use. With current interest in renewable resources and improved technology in heat extraction, the thermal value of ground water at all temperatures has increased dramatically adding to the complexity of ground water management Title: Low Temperature Geothermal Resource Management Author: Forcella, L.
