Almost  half the states are now producing at least some shale gas, with a few &ndash;  Texas, Pennsylvania, California, Colorado, North Dakota &ndash; sitting on  massive deposits.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly half a million wells in the US were producing shale gas in  2012. But while many countries now seek to bolster their economies by  following the American lead in exploiting this <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.climatenewsnetwork.net\/2014\/04\/questions-on-the-future-of-fracking\/\" title=\"Questions on the future of fracking\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">controversial new source of fossil fuels<\/a>,  campaigners in the US are warning of serious collateral damage to the  environment: the depletion and contamination of vital water supplies.<\/p>\n<p>The process of fracking, short for &ldquo;hydraulic fracturing&rdquo;, involves  injecting water, sand and chemicals down vertical wells and along  horizontal shafts &minus; which can be several miles long &minus; to open up small  pores in the rock. This releases the methane for capture.<\/p>\n<p>Fracking a well just once uses upwards of five million gallons of  water, and each well can be fracked 18 times or more. Texas alone used  an estimated 25 billion gallons of water for fracking in 2012, according  to a recent report by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ceres.org\/issues\/water\/shale-energy\/shale-and-water-maps\/hydraulic-fracturing-water-stress-water-demand-by-the-numbers\" title=\"Ceres: Hydraulic fracturing &amp; water stress\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ceres<\/a>, a not-for-profit group advising investors on climate change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Demand accelerating<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Where surface water is lacking, as in Texas, underground aquifers are  being emptied at record rates. And while fracking&rsquo;s water use still  trails behind personal and agricultural uses, demand is accelerating  even while much of the US is suffering extreme drought, which is  probably caused or worsened by climate change exacerbated, ironically,  by burning fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>There is no overarching policy regulating how the industry uses  water. In the Energy Policy Act of 2005, a provision known as the &ldquo;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cleanwater.org\/page\/fracking-laws-and-loopholes\" title=\"Clean Water Action - Fracking: Laws and loopholes\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Halliburton loophole<\/a>&rdquo;  exempts oil and gas operations from almost all federal air and water  regulations, leaving protection of these basic life necessities to the  states.<\/p>\n<p>Texas does not require operators to report groundwater use, but new  regulations in California require operators to state where they will get  their water and how they will dispose of their wastewater. Even in the  face of a drought emergency, the state&rsquo;s well operators still plan to  take most of their water from surface sources, says Kyle Ferrar,  California state co-ordinator of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fractracker.org\/\" title=\"Fractracker Alliance\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fractracker Alliance<\/a>, a not-for-profit data analysis group.<\/p>\n<p>Disposing of the water when fracking is complete is also challenging.  The wastewater is a mixture of the injected freshwater, fracking  chemicals, and deep formation water, which is usually briny and often  mildly radioactive. It can&rsquo;t be recycled for typical water uses, as few  public drinking water or sewage treatment plants are equipped to remove  fracking contaminants. In fact, some of these contaminants react with  chlorine compounds to form trihalomethanes, which can cause liver and  kidney damage.<\/p>\n<p>The most reasonable wastewater solution appears to be re-using it in  subsequent fracking operations &minus; a practice that is growing in  popularity among American well operators because it can reduce the  amount of new water required. Waste can also be injected into spent oil  and gas wells, much as CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;is sequestered.<\/p>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www2.epa.gov\/hfstudy\/hydraulic-fracturing-water-cycle\" title=\"US Environmental Protection Agency\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">US Environmental Protection Agency <\/a>operates  an underground injection control programme, which it administers  directly in some states and allows state government to run in others.  But many operators still pump the waste into large surface ponds lined  with plastic, allowing the water to evaporate and carry some  contaminants into the atmosphere. Storm runoff can also transmit  wastewater from ponds and landfills to surface and groundwater systems.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania is struggling to balance its resources in the face of  the fracking boom. In 2011, the Department of Environmental Protection  asked the state&rsquo;s gas well operators to stop discharging waste into  surface waters. Because Pennsylvania&rsquo;s geology is not conducive to  stable injection wells, operators now ship much of their wastewater next  door to Ohio, which encourages the practice as an income source.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shady practices<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2011, at least half the wastewater stored in Ohio came from out of state, according to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentohiocenter.org\/\" title=\"Environment Ohio\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Environment Ohio Research &amp; Policy Center<\/a>.  Many Ohio environmentalists object to taking other states&rsquo; waste &minus;  partly because the fracking boom has resulted in some shady practices.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Dumping seems to be a really ongoing problem,&rdquo; explains&nbsp;Julie Weatherington-Rice, senior scientist at&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bennettandwilliams.com\/\" title=\"Bennett and Williams\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bennett &amp; Williams Environmental Consultants<\/a>&nbsp;in  Ohio. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re seeing dumping down old mineshafts and dumping on roads  where the spigot at the end of the tank is [allowed] to dribble all the  way to the [disposal] well.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In March, a Youngstown company admitted it had dumped thousands of  gallons of waste into a stormwater sewer feeding into a river system.  Testing revealed that the waste contained benzene, which is a known  carcinogen, and toluene, a nervous system toxicant.<\/p>\n<p>If concrete wellbores or seals at the wellhead are misaligned or  corroded, methane and chemicals can migrate into potable water aquifers &minus;  something that the small town of Dimock, Pennsylvania, learned the hard  way in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Most Dimock residents have individual water wells. Shortly after  Cabot Oil and Gas began fracking in the area, a resident&rsquo;s backyard  water well exploded. After it was determined that Cabot&rsquo;s operations  were the source of the methane contamination, a consent agreement with  the state required Cabot to supply Dimock&rsquo;s drinking water.<\/p>\n<p>But the state allowed Cabot to stop supplying water in 2011, without testing residents&rsquo; well water, according to a report by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stateimpact.npr.org\/pennsylvania\/\" title=\"StateImpact Pennsylvania\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">StateImpact<\/a>, a project of National Public Radio stations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Potable water<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because many residents still don&rsquo;t have potable water as a result of  the contamination, volunteers from around the state are holding local  events to raise money to supply water to Dimock, says Karen Feridun, an  activist with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gastruth.org\/\" title=\"Berks Gas Truth\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Berks Gas Truth<\/a>, an anti-fracking group. The situation remains unresolved for the long term.<\/p>\n<p>Although Pennsylvania and Texas have been hit especially hard by&nbsp;the  effects of shale gas extraction, no part of the US is exempt.<\/p>\n<p>Even the Pacific Northwest,long insulated from fossil fuel extraction  and burning by virtue of its massive hydropower projects and deep  layers of flood basalt covering any oil or gas-bearing formations, is  now vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>The region faces the prospect of liquefied natural gas (LNG)  pipelines and a massive increase in trains carrying oil and coal through  the scenic Columbia River Gorge to west coast ports for shipment to  China. LNG terminals are also being planned for gas shipment from the US  east coast to Europe.<\/p>\n<p>At some point, campaigners warn, all Americans may have to choose between energy and clean water.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Make sure [fracking&rsquo;s] not taking your drinking water or your  irrigation or the water that your herds need to survive,&rdquo; says  Weatherington-Rice. &ldquo;When this happens, you&rsquo;ve lost that water forever.&rdquo;<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\nThis article was first published by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatenewsnetwork.net\/\">Climate News Network<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Campaigners in the US warn that fracking for oil or gas, which has transformed the country&rsquo;s energy market, is seriously depleting or contaminating supplies of the most vital asset &minus;
