| Abstract | Drillers have identified using nearly three times as many rivers, streams and ponds for water sources in the first two months of 2013 than during the same period in 2012 and all of 2011. |
| Notes | '\nHydrofracking requires a great deal of water, which cannot be re-used and therefore threatens other industries, people, and the environment.\n\"But environmentalists note water used in fracking cannot be treated and reintroduced to the water supply where it eventually will cycle through to become rain. By state law, all water used or produced in oil and gas mining must be sequestered deep underground by injection wells, although it can be reused from well to well.\"\n\n - mcdevl2' |
