The race to find cleaner energy sources has led to a boon in hydraulic fracturing (\u201cfracking\u201d) in search of natural gas. Highly pressurized chemicals and water are pumped deep underground to break shale and release natural gas for harvesting. Residents and environmentalists have long been opposed to the process, which has seen an increase of health issues due to contaminated water. In drought stricken California, there is also concern about the amount of water being used in fracking operations, as well as what is done with the wastewater.California farmers are frustrated with oil companies that have encroached on their areas. Fertile farm land is also filled with natural gas and there has been an increase in fracking operations. As the name implies, hyrdraulic fracturing is a water-intensive process. At the front-end, freshwater is infused with chemicals and is pumped into the shale. This has put farmers and oil companies in competition for the ever decreasing amount of water available.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-824983","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nIs fracking water safe to irrigate crops? - Revolution<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The race to find cleaner energy sources has led to a boon in hydraulic fracturing (\u201cfracking\u201d) in search of natural gas.
