waters on drinking water resources? What are the possible impacts of hydraulic fracturing fluid surface spills on or near well pads on drinking water resources? They had indeed concluded that fracturing does interfere with water supply. In the movie “Gasland” a man turns on a faucet and puts a lighter near it. Within a few moments flames erupt from the faucet. This was probably due to the fact that a fracturing site was located nearby. That is the first reason on why hydraulic fracturing should be banned

fractures. When the rock fractures it releases natural gas that can be collected at very inexpensive cost. The problem is that this can contaminate local water supplies‚ including lakes‚ ponds‚ streams‚ rivers‚ and ground water. The documentary Gasland stirred up interest in the American population to the effects of fracking. After being offered one hundred thousand dollars for his land from a gas company‚ the director Josh Fox traveled around America investigating the effects of fracking on the

On every fracking site‚ 8 million gallons of water and 40‚000 gallons of chemicals are used each day. In addition‚ these chemicals are injected 10‚000 feet into the ground. This interesting statistic calls attention to the dangers of contamination and pollution that fracking brings to local communities and residents. A PhD recipient from Duke University‚ Dr.Richard Anderson‚ claims that the federal government needs to have certain limitations on national fracking protocol. Otherwise‚ he argues greater
