USGS Offers Access to Products on Energy Development and Water Resources
USGS has conducted a number studies and projects on the impacts of energy development on water resources. They have summarized their various products to allow easy review. These cover a range of current energy related activities including coalbed methane extraction and hydraulic fracturing (featuring groundwater data from before and during natural gas development). These studies provide more insight into the potential impacts of unconventional energy development practices.
