evaporation does not waste water, it is part of the water cycle.

testing will only tell you what is in the water. you can then decide what to do with it. your adding janola will solve the taste as you have found out, and also remove some of the bacteria which could be hamfull.

you can also buy things called filters which will retain a lot of crap. you do not test every litre you find the source of any contamination and work from there.

So if the ground water gets contaminated. we should throw it out ?

And tell me about these filters. never heard of them before.

Actually Bill don't bother. I suspect it'll "bore" me.

extract the lithium and sell it to tesla as mentioned earlier.

Ha. I'll sell my urine as refined water.

Double refined bourbon anybody ?

sounds to me as if you have drilled a hole in the water tank you mentioned. wasted water,janola, effort and no need for filters either, wonder why you are here at all, you are out of your depth (trouble with the tank again)

Just having fun Bill. no offense intended.

I was just taking the double refined water out of you.

I'll shut up now.

As the article I posted a link to mentioned, they test for certain pollutants. If the fracking industry is using toxins that aren't tested for, then they don't get found, and someone gets to tick a form saying that everything is fine. Meanwhile, a lowly rate-payer is finding out that they can light the water from their taps. Real Erin Brockovich stuff.

We know that's not possible.

So that’s OK because lithium is recycled. without polluting anything ?

wonder why they use 'certain toxins' and not specific ones or are these 'toxins' being leached out of the rock by the process. oh i saw the film, good story.

you mean we can eat lithium and recharge ourselves? like glucose and other legal foodstuff.
a little bit of thinking would give you and answer as well. crude oil is toxic so it stands to reason than applying pressurised water to crude oil would lead to some contamination of the water. this water then moves into an aquifier and some one who is downstream taps into the aquifer you can work out what will happen. simple is it not.

I don't understand where you're going with this, bill. It's still damage due to fracking, regardless of whether it's the additives they put in the fracking slurry,or the wastewater which is the end result.
