Hiya all.

this extract is appropriate
After an outcry from Wyoming�s governor, Matt
Mead, and the energy industry that the federal report was premature and
inconclusive, more testing was conducted by the United States Geological
Survey and is being processed. The E.P.A. is also in the midst of collecting
additional water samples for study.
Encana Oil and Gas (U.S.A.) Inc., which
bought the Pavillion gas field in 2004 and operates about 125 gas wells in
the area, is already providing jugs of drinking water for Mr. Locker and 20
other households. It is unclear whether Encana will defray any of the cost of
the cistern water.
But here on the front lines of the battle over
fracking, which has become an increasingly popular technique to extract
previously unobtainable reserves of oil and gas, no conclusion is yet
definitive.
For the last few years, a small group of farmers and landowners
scattered across this rural Wyoming basin have complained that their water
wells have been contaminated with chemicals from a controversial drilling
technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
�I�d like to have the
industry held accountable for once,� said Jeff Locker, a hay and barley
farmer who said that his well water had gone bad around the mid-�90s and that
the contaminants had contributed to his wife�s neuropathy. �We�ve got
scientific proof. And they�re still turning their back on us. They expect us
to pay between $100 and $200 for something we didn�t cause. It gets under my
skin.�
�Until there is a peer-reviewed study and a good scientific basis
that indicates that the issues related to water are related to our
operations, that is not something we are ready to address,� said Doug Hock,
an Encana spokesman.

Encana has maintained
that water in the area is naturally poor and that its operations did not
cause the problems � fracking had also occurred before the company purchased
the gas field. Moreover, the energy industry has steadfastly pointed out that
there has never been any conclusive link between fracking and water
contamination.

A draft report by the
Environmental Protection Agency, issued in December, appeared to confirm
their concerns, linking chemicals in local groundwater to gas drilling.

would you mind explaining how to focus on the weather data analysis and the storm supervision?
