take 1-8 million gallons of water to complete each fracturing job. Enough water that can be provided to states like California and Colorado in the west that are experiencing little to no rainfall. Although water fracturing is a way to reduce the use of greenhouse gases. Fracturing is an unsafe process that harms our drinking water and health. In the United States, drilling and fracking are exempt from the landmark environmental laws, including the Safe Drinking Water Act, thanks to loopholes Congress
somewhere in the world due to no water or contaminated water. I was shocked to hear this statistic and decided to research the reasons why water, the main fuel for life on Earth is in short supply.
