Done at request of Congress, assessment shows that while hydraulic fracturing activities in the U.S. are carried out in a way that have not led to widespread, systemic impacts on drinking water resources, there are potential vulnerabilities in the water lifecycle that could impact drinking water. Some include: water withdrawals in areas with low water availability; inadequately cased or cemented wells resulting in below ground migration of gases and liquids; and spills of hydraulic fluids.
