Fracking at the Corner of Energy Abundance and Water Scarcity

Monday July 15, 4pm

From: Christian Science Monitor, Reuters

There is no greater example of the water-energy nexus than the juncture where water meets the hydraulic fracturing process, or fracking, of natural gas and oil. ¹

For legislating and rulemaking bodies, their goals revolve around protecting public safety and natural resources needed by society. ¹

The oil and gas industry is finding that less is more in the push to recycle water used in hydraulic fracturing. ²

Slightly dirty water, it seems, does just as good a job as crystal clear when it comes to making an oil or gas well work. ²
