though Hydraulic Fracturing is changing our dependence on fossil fuels‚ it could very well be changing our most precious resource‚ our water supplies. The average fracturing site uses an estimated 70 to 140 billion gallons of water to fracture 35‚000 wells in the United States annually. This is approximately the yearly water consumption of 40 to 80 cities each with a population of 50‚000. This water is infused with chemicals that seep back into our groundwater and contaminate our water supplies. Hydraulic

Hydraulic Fracturing Part A: A Background on Hydraulic Fracturing Hydraulic Fracturing‚ otherwise know as fracking‚ is a relatively new development in natural gas extraction industry. Even though natural gas extraction has been around for decades‚ the process of mining for natural gas in dense shale was not economically feasible until now. As defined by what-is-fracking.com‚ “Hydraulic fracturing is the process of drilling for natural gas and oil underneath the ground‚” (1). In order

“Hydraulic Fracturing or Fracking is a process in which fractures in rocks below the earth’s surface are opened and widened by injecting chemicals and liquids at high pressure”(Dictionary). This type of mining is used to extract natural gas and oil by drilling a mile or more below the surface. Fracking has been “commercially used for 65 years”(Introduction)‚ supplying Americans energy. Hydraulic Fracturing has allowed for the increase in supplies of oil and natural gas. It is currently the best and

tends to be a result of hydraulic fracking. All water is connected so if an individual or company pollutes an area where the water is‚ the water will inevitably become polluted over time as well. This argument is effective mostly due to the fact that the film showed that the government and large cooperations were getting away with being responsible for causing health concerns for both humans and animals. Additionally‚ this documentary used the stories of real people that were living through terrible

Course Project Week 2 ReyDel Veenstra Hydraulic Fracturing What is Hydraulic Fracturing: Hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” is a well stimulation process used to maximize the extraction of underground resources including oil and natural gas. Hydraulic fracturing involves the pressurized injection of a mixture of water‚ chemicals‚ and sand in underground formations to allow natural gas and oil to flow more freely from rock pores to the surface.
