A day late and a dollar short but is a start...

Jeez! That's some scary $hit!

 

[cdiggy]

Sure is.

Hmmmm, what's in that 9 to 10 barrels of reclaimed water>? Is it reclaimable in some way?. Could it be used for some form of irrigation down the line?

Makes you wonder why no one has said just how bad is that water?

I have a feeling there could be a lot more to this than what were being told(as usual).

That was my thought too.

I tried to look at it, and was hit with a spambot.

well I am in kalifornia and have worked in the oil fields in the past. all the injection wells I ever saw inject the water back down into the oil pools, not the aquifer. something is not right here. this is a form of frackng it's been going on for decades. fracking is not new. like I said something is fishy with this. highdesertranger

I bet you will find that those that live in the areas where the aquifers were protected are also some of the ones whose palms were greased. In a county north of me they could actually light the water coming out of their taps on fire as it ran out but fracking does no damage. That's just the tip of the ice burg here.

I don't know if it's the same area but I saw a show on that lighting the tap water on fire blaming it on fracking, but come to find out that has been going on since before there even was oil wells. highdesertranger

I was under the impression that when it comes to fracking, the flaming water,houses blowing up, and contaminated water are mainly due to poorly constructed gas well casings that leak methane. The disposal wells are another issue(earth quakes). Fun stuff!

Edit-Not all water contaminated with methane is due to fracking, "methane migration" has been happening since forever. Didn't want to make it seem that the only reasons water lit on fire or houses blew up was due to tracking. It can happen naturally too.

The rooster has returned home to roost. I left Cali 20 yrs ago. Watching from Idaho, as carma runs full steam ahead. Waiting for the big one to hit, so I can have beach front property. [emoji48]

All water is contaminated! City water is full of chlorine and fluoride both of these are poisonous.

I am sooo going to miss my artesian well water when I leave here.

My mother can't figure out why I won't drink the water at her place...it's treated water from Lake Simcoe for goodness sake...surrounded on all sides by industry, farming and housing developments. She uses a Brita filter that is also suspect because knowing her as I do, she doesn't change them near often enough.
