Many regular consumers are welcoming the drop in oil prices. Filling up the tank hasn’t been this cheap since 2009. However, it doesn’t come without consequence. As a result, many oil companies are looking for cheaper ways to draw oil in order for their profits to stay steady. One such method is using local source water to assist in fracking. As you have read on this site and others, fracking on its own can contaminate nearby water sources if not closely monitored. Now take that concern and add the actual use of nearby water. It’s a two-hit combo for local water.

We citizens must stay diligent knowing where fracking is taking place and how our local water is being used in order to prevent problems later on. However, Ambient water may have a solution. They can create freshwater for frackers by converting water vapor into usable water.
