Hydraulic Fracturing and water use

September 29, 2010 By TXsharon

TRAED has figured out a way we can visualize how much water hydraulic fracturing uses up.

Lubbock Texas without water for 70 years

Based on these figures the amount of water used in one year in 3 states for hydraulic fracturing gas wells is as much water as 230,000 people consume in a lifetime.

This is comparable to taking the water supply away from a city the size of Lubbock Texas or Orlando Florida for it’s entire population for 70 years or one whole generation of the population.

    Well, at least that would give us a good and definitive excuse to move back to DFW.
