What are the primary water courses relied upon to meet the needs of Central Oregon residents?
The Deschutes River is the primary water source for Central Oregon water needs. However, the Bridge Creek watershed, Crooked River, Trout Creek, and Squaw Creek also are major contributors of water to Central Oregon residents. The City of Bend has two different water sources– Bridge Creek, the main source of water for the city, and deep wells, which provide a water source during the summer. *www.ci.bend.or.us * http://www.waterwatch.org/programs/Deschutes/land/?
