you should understand what follows:
�These are people that had good water,�
said John Fenton, a barrel-chested farmer and chairman of the Pavillion Area
Concerned Citizens group. �And it changed when there was this rush to come
in here and develop the area when they didn�t understand the geology.�
In
the meantime, the state has offered to provide cisterns for local residents,
using $750,000 allocated by the Wyoming Legislature this year. Under the
plan, people here would still have to pay a fee to have their water hauled
from the nearby community of Pavillion, at a cost that could run more than
$150 per month.
�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.�
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.
A draft report by the
Environmental Protection Agency, issued in December, appeared to confirm
their concerns, linking chemicals in local groundwater to gas drilling.
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.
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.
�These are people
that had good water,� said John Fenton, a barrel-chested farmer and chairman
of the Pavillion Area Concerned Citizens group. �And it changed when there
was this rush to come in here and develop the area when they didn�t
understand the geology.�

As a drawback, This article looks interesting:

�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.

Mr. Fenton said he thought he had dodged a
bullet until about three years ago, when his tap water began occasionally
fizzing and smelling like petroleum. And even though Encana is giving him
drinking water, Mr. Fenton said he and his family still bathe in dirty water.

how do you detail the waterways fine tuning?
