FRACKING CAUSES CONTAMINATION OF DRINKING WATER

June 19, 2015 / Glen Reynolds

Production wells associated with hydraulic fracturing in the USA are alleged to have caused drinking water contamination. Data limitations in most of those cases (including the unavailability of information in litigation settlements resulting in sealed documents) make it impossible to definitively assess whether or not hydraulic fracturing was a cause of the contamination in these cases.

Without widespread access to industry operations and data – there can be no widespread determination on the impacts of fracking.
