First decision to make is where are you going to place your tank? Will you put it…

that amount into perspective, there are 500,000 wells available for fracking and all of them can be fracked eighteen times. One to eight million gallons of water and forty thousand gallons of chemicals is needed for each fracking procedure.

agriculture. One way to solve this problem is by outlawing fracking in the United States. Fracking uses about 7.8 million gallons of water, and for every well we frack, we contaminate around 5 million gallons of fresh water. That’s only one of the million wells out there in U.S. If you do the math, we are using about 5 trillion gallons of water everyday, and about 4 trillion gallons of fresh water is contaminated. President Barack Obama said that fracking can create 14,000 jobs and produce…
