Over 350 billion gallons of H2O are used inwards hydraulic fracturing inwards the United States. Unfortunately over one-half of the wells hydraulically fractured inwards the terminal 5 years are inwards areas of high or extremely high H2O stress, including H2O basins inwards Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma as well as California.
Ceres has released an interactive map to demo the locations of hydraulic fracturing good locations as well as the related H2O adventure trends where these wells are located. The Competition for Water inwards US Shale Energy Development map provides an overview of overall H2O stress throughout the United States. The locations of fracked wells are likewise shown on the map. It is so tardily to purpose the map to run into where hydraulic fracturing is taking house inwards areas of high H2O stress.
The map likewise shows the outlines of major H2O basins inwards the United States. If you lot click on the H2O basin outlines on the map you lot tin persuasion the full let on of fracked wells using the basin for H2O as well as the per centum of wells operating inwards areas of high as well as extreme H2O stress. For illustration 99% of fracking wells using the California H2O basin are operating inwards an expanse of high as well as extreme H2O stress.
