Environmental Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing (ENVIROnetBASE)
While hydraulic fracturing allows access to previously unobtainable energy supplies, the technology can cause serious damage to environmental media. Public concerns have focused on the impacts of the process used during natural gas production from shale and coalbed methane formations.
Fracking: The Operations and Environmental Consequences of Hydraulic Fracturing
This book presents both sides of a very controversial subject in today's media: induced hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking. " It covers the technology and methods used in hydraulic fracturing in easy-to-understand language, for the engineer and layperson alike, presenting the environmental effects of hydraulic fracturing.
