    Hydraulic Fracking Report

    • 959 Words

    Yet, out of 30,000 wastewater disposal wells only a small fraction appear to be problematic (Ellsworth 2013). This could be due to the amount of water (volume) injected into the wells at the time or whether the pressure is directly communicated into basement faults (Ellsworth 2013). Injection induced earthquakes are clearly a reason for concern as they present a seismic hazard. Industrial activity has for a long period of time been a known cause for earthquakes, impoundment of reservoirs, surface and underground mining, and withdrawal of fluids from the subsurface are all examples of how industry can alter the tectonic movement of earth’s crust without intending to do so (Ellsworth 2013). Hydraulic fracturing is another industrial process that…

    The deeper the aquifer, the less ability it has to refill with a portion of them lacking the capability to refill ever "potentially changing how and where we can live and grow food, among other things" (Dimick pg. 3). A report from Stanford University reveals that 60 percent of the water needs from California are coming from Aquifers during years of drought and approximately 40 percent during non-drought years (Dimick pg. 4). Aquifers can predominantly be slowly replenished excluding the occasions these resources are drained. In the instances where the aquifers are drained, they can collapse and cause many ground collapsing events. Brian Howard describes how the water table, level of ground water, has dramatically deteriorated from 500 feet to 1000 feet in Central Valley, and the rate for drilling the wells is at a costly rate of 300,000 dollars per well.(Dimick pg 4).…
