Water is a critical resource in drilling and fracking wells. Vast amounts of water, mostly from aquifers, is sold for this purpose in the Permian Basin. The other end of the water cycle is waste water including fracking blowback, salt water from wells and other waste that is collected and pumped back underground in high pressure disposal wells that have been shown to contribute to increased earthquake activity in the oil fields.
