Selecting the right liner material is important for every pond, impoundment, and other water-holding area.
Recycling and Treating Produced Water in Fracking
With millions of gallons of fresh water going into each hydraulic fracturing well, it’s no wonder that hundreds of thousands of gallons can come back out.
How to Keep Produced Water and Other Frac Byproducts from Affecting the Local Environment
It’s well-known that produced water, in particular, can have negative effects on the water and soil surrounding the oil field.
