As per reports, Pakistan is soon going to be a water deficient country due to paucity of infrastructure and mismanagement of its water resources. Thus.....
The millions of gallons of water used in fracking operations not only strain water resources, but end up as vast amounts of contaminated wastewater. Fracking has been reported as a suspect in polluted drinking water around the country. And methane -- a potent climate change pollutant -- leaks rampantly throughout the extraction, processing, and distribution of oil and gas.
So, is extraction of shale gas a good idea where Pakistan is concerned?
