Article Synopsis
- The contamination of shallow groundwater from shale gas extraction via hydraulic fracturing is a significant environmental issue, sparking debate over its impact on water quality.
- Establishing a baseline of groundwater quality before development is essential for accurately assessing changes and potential contamination from shale gas activities.
- This paper outlines a framework for conducting baseline assessments, reviews potential sources of inorganic contaminants, and offers best practices for sampling and analyzing groundwater in shale gas areas.
