§ An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, silt, or clay) from which groundwater can be usefully extracted using a water well. § The study of water flow in aquifers and the characterization of aquifers is called hydrogeology.

Also known as Hydraulic Fracturing: § A mining method that involves injecting massive amounts of toxic chemical brine deep underground in order to release natural gas (among other things). § The fracturing operation is intended to create fractures that extend from the wellbore into the target oil or gas formations. § Injected fluids may travel as far as 3, 000 feet horizontally from the well head.
