  	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.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Geothermal Development in Klamath Falls, Oregon Author: Forcella, L. S. Year: 1984 Geothermal resource development in Klamath Falls increased dramatically with completion of Phase I of the city geothermal heating system in 1982. Phase I can supply 14 government office buildings and 127 homes in two low-income residential areas with heat and hot water. However, Phase I has not been used because of a lack of historical data regarding long-term sustainability of the resource. This lack of technical knowledge has resulted in conflicts over how to use the resource. This report describes both the cumulative scientific knowledge and the conflicts and groups involved, and offers a comprehensive view of geothermal development in Klamath Falls Title: Geothermal Development in Klamath Falls, Oregon Author: Forcella, L.
