Half of fracking wells within 3 km of groundwater wells
- "Millions of Americans rely on self-supply groundwater wells for drinking water, but the number of these wells that are located near hydraulic fracturing operations is unknown. Here, we show that approximately half of all hydraulically fractured wells stimulated in 2014 exist within 2–3 km of one or more domestic (public and self-supply) groundwater wells." - Excerpt from a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
