Hydraulic fracturing
A lot has been written about
hydraulic fracturing. Some
has been true, but most has
been either a distortion of
the facts or outright misstate-
ments made intentionally to
make fracturing seem like a
new process that uses an ex-
orbitant amount of water.
First, fracturing has been a

thousands and thousands of that 31 percent of the
wells being fractured without
a single case of groundwater
contamination.
The new techniques of
fracturing that has been de-
veloped in the last 20 years
uses more water than previ-
ous techniques. Environ-
mental groups have alleged
that the use of all this water is
inappropriate and should be

However, after examining
the water use data from the
Texas Water Development
Board the oil and gas indus-
try uses less water than any
other
gas (actually
egory is listed as mining
ich includes oil and gas)
used only 1 percent of the
water in Texas, according to
the 2011 Water Use Survey prei
(the most current data avail- tho\
able) that was updated on
June 3, 2013.
Irrigation used the most wa-
ter, accounting for 61 percent
of the water used in Texas.
Irrigation was followed by
municipal use at 27 percent,
manufacturing at 6 percent,
steam electric power at 3 per-
cent, livestock at 2 percent
and mining at 1 percent.
The largest user of water is
Harris County with 799,504
acre feet (one acre foot is
equal to 325,851 gallons).

The largest user of water
for mining (oil and gas) was
in Wise County, which is just
north of Fort Worth. Wise
County used 14,010 acre feet
for oil and gas operations that
included hydraulic fractur-
ing.
The Texas Water Develop-

iiden-
tial water consumed in the
state is used outside homes,
according to a recent story
in the Wall Street Journal by
Rusty Todd, who teaches ed-
iting and business journalism
at the University of Texas at
Austin.
“In 2010, that amounted to
495 billion gallons,” Todd
wrote. “In 2011, according
to the Bureau of Economic
Geology at the University of
Texas at Austin, fracking ac-
counted for 26.6 billion gal-
lons statewide. So in Texas
(a big state with arid regions)
lawns consume roughly 18
times more water than frack-
ing does.”
