Abstract
The Myrtle Creek-Glendale area covers about 400 mi2 (1,000 km2 in Douglas County in southwestern Oregon. Although the geologic formations of the area have low permeabilities and generally yield small amounts of water to wells, ground water is the chief source of water for domestic usse in rural parts of the area not served by public supplies. A well capable of yielding 5 to 10 gal/min (0.3 to 0.6 L/s) can supply household needs. In most places in the area, the quantities of water obtainable from wells are inadequate or would be only marginally adequate for irrigation, municipal, of large industrial use.
The purpose of this report is to describe briefly the occurrence of ground water and to present ground-water information that will help water users, public officials, and planners to determine the probability of obtaining adequate quanitities of good-quality ground water in the Myrtle Creek-Glendale area.
