Description

Hydraulic fracturing is a technique used to increase oil and gas production from underground oil-or-gas-bearing rock formations. Since the mid-2000s, the combination of hydraulic fracturing and directional drilling has become widespread, raising concerns about the potential impacts of hydraulic fraxturing on drinking water resources. This report captures the state-of-the-science concerning drinking water impacts from activities in the hydraulic fracturing activities water cycle and integrates the results of the Environmental Protection Agencyäó»s (EPAäó»s) study of the subject with approximately 1,200 other publications and sources of information. The goals of this report were to assess the potential for activities in the hydraulic fracturing water cycle to impact the quality or quantity of drinking water resources and to identify factors that affect the frequency or severity of those impacts. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
