"Fracking" is the process by which oil & gas producers extract petroleum from deep within the earth's crust. The process requires a well that is drilled to a depth of several thousand feet (through the water table and through the impermeable rock below the water table).
After this, the impermeable rock is no longer impermeable. After the life of the wells (~30 yrs), the well is capped (insufficient to protect water table). After the well is capped, there is no legal requirement for maintenance. Corrosion protection will no longer be present and the well WILL FAIL, it is only a matter of time. Water will occupy the well bores (~ 1,000,000 gallons). Corrosion and gravity are inevitable. Ban fracking so that your local ground water supplies will still exist in 50 years. Water is life.
