Problems with water supplies for shale gas production
Shale gas production demands the large supplies of water in a short period of time. Therefore there might occur very serious problems concerning the availability of water and its quality - the resources are not always as abundant as it would be preferred and they are not always located in the preferred spots. All these factors have a significant impact on the reliability of water supply.
