Fracking videos: fracking and fresh water contamination

"No reported cases of groundwater contamination due to the process of

fracking".

Terry greenwood ... He's dead now .... Strange cancer killed him and his livestock.

That is in part due to the Haliburton loophole making fracking exempt from legal prosecution of the clean water act. A number of cases have been hushed up with confidentiality agreements. This is all starting to unravel in the us.

Fresh Water is contaminated when the process starts by adding the chemicals to create slickwater. This is a contamination event.

This slickwater is Contaminated further by the explosive process of fracking creating NORM sludge.

This water brine is then put in ponds that are open to wildlife and nearby livestock.

Floods can wash away these pools and containers. Lightning can and has damaged The containers.

In Some cases of abandoned wells in Pennsylvania the evaporation pools where just bulldozed Without cleanup. In flood risk areas.

There are cases of

Waste water brine being dumped on roads and fields.

There are cases of wastewater being pumped into waste water injection wells Causing earthquakes.

There are cases of wastewater being dumped into canals or lakes.

Earthquakes caused by fracking can have an indirect effect of contaminating water supplies.

Fracking and water usage

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/feb/05/fracking-water-america-drought-oil-gas

When people talk of swimming pools and golf courses per well. That needs to be multiplied by 100s If not 1000s for industrial scale fracking production.

This is fresh water remember. The same stuff that had hose pipe bans and "droughts"not so long ago.

At least 50 percent of the freshwater used is completely lost to the water cycle. The rest is contaminated by the "secret" ice cream ingredients going down and the radioactive NORM sludge coming back up.

Some of the slickwater brine waste is injected into waste water wells that have been linked to earthquakes. Which is further lost from the water cycle water system.

Some has been found to have contaminated drinking water aquifers... So this water isn't lost to the water system but does contaminate it.

Some is left in evaporation ponds that are open to wildlife and livestock. These are also open to flooding see the colorado floods and how sensible it is to build in a flood plain. In pensylvania some of these Evaporation salt pits were just bulldozed over and covered up in flood risk areas.

When we talk of brine and salt this isn't normal salt sodium chloride this is other chemical salts with health risks.

Some is used legally and illegally as dust suppression on roads.

In America some of

It is just dumped in fields in the uk it was dumped into a manchester canal.
