Increasing methane contamination in water due to shale gas exploration driving the market
Natural gas trapped inside the shale formation is known as shale gas. Fine-grained sedimentary rocks, generally known as shale, can be a rich source of
petroleum and natural gas. Natural gas is usually trapped within the pores of sedimentary rocks. Shale gas is becoming increasingly popular because it is considered a cleaner
coal, emitting less than half the CO
2. A study was conducted by U.S. researchers in 2011 to measure the methane contamination in 68 wells that drew water for human consumption from underground natural resources across northeast Pennsylvania, and New York State. It revealed that methane concentration was almost 17 times higher in wells near the shale gas production site. The contamination level increased with increasing proximity to the active shale gas production site.

While water is vital to life, over two billion people live in countries experiencing major water stress. Our changing climate, growing global population, and reckless pollution have combined to create a major water crisis. This existing situation will worsen in coming decades around much of the world, but especially in regions like the Middle East, South Asia, North Africa, and parts of China.
We need freshwater not only to drink, but for agricultural production, rearing livestock, and sanitation purposes. Inadequate and unsafe water supplies are causing serious health problems and have begun to worsen food insecurity. The likelihood of water-related conflict is also a serious concern, especially in countries like India and Pakistan, which share glacial waterways being eroded due to global warming.
