“Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well” (“What is fracking and why is it controversial?”, n.d., para. 1) Fracking is a major problem all around the America and even across the world. Putting fracking to a complete end is not possible in the world we live in today in order for us to produce fuel. Filter Fracking Ohio, plans to have a disaster relief program for those families that are impacted by disasters caused by fracking. This organization will help families in need of filtered water. Fracking affects the drinking

Edward A.L. Roberts saw what could be accomplished when firing explosive artillery into a narrow canal that obstructed the battlefield. This was described as superincumbent fluid tamping.(Manfreda, 2015, para. 1)
Most people believe that since commercial fracking began in the 1930’s that is when fracking was introduced, although fracking has been around for much longer than that. Lawmakers have tried regulating fracking in various different ways, and over the years they have made it safer than what it used to be. As an organization we plan to install water filtering systems to help families limit the diseases and illnesses within their families. We will also provide a disaster relief program for disasters caused by fracking. In the article “Understanding State Rulemaking Processes: Developing Fracking Rules in Colorado, New York, and Ohio” by Sara Rinfret, Jeffrey J. Cook, and Michelle C. Pautz they discuss the process that lawmakers have went through to get fracking to the place it is today. “For example, the public disclosure of fracking chemicals varies by state and, of the 14 states that require base fluid volume reporting, only 8 states require industry to identify what the base fluid is composed of” (Rinfret, Cook, & Pautz, 2014, para. 1). The states are the ones making the call for regulations based on Hydraulic Fracturing, some require more descriptive reports being made back to the government and others do …show more content…
As more discoveries were being made about this such process, it became commercialized in the mid 1900’s. Edward Roberts was the first person in the mid 1800’s to patent an “Improvement” in exploding torpedoes. In John Manfreda’s article “The Real History of Fracking” he states that, “This extraction method was implemented by packing a torpedo in an iron case that contained 15-20 pounds of powder. The case was then lowered into the oil well, at a spot closest to the oil”(Manfreda, 2015, para. 6). This method that Edward created increased oil production by approximately 1200 percent. Roberts then decided to name this company that he created, Roberts Petroleum Torpedo Company, when he started this company he charged $100-$200. “Even though the birth of fracking began in the 1860s, the birth of modern day hydraulic fracturing began in the 1940s. In 1947, Floyd Farris of Stanolind Oil and Gas began a study on the relationship between oil and gas production output, and the amount of pressurized treatment being used on each well” (Manfreda, 2015, para. 10). The studies that have been conducted over the years have allowed scientists and lawmakers to meet and discuss what they can do to make this method safer. When fracking first began it was very dangerous for the workers performing the operation as well as for the
