An alternative is to push water underground using recharge ponds or injection wells.

Recharge ponds are constructed surface basins that allow water to collect and seep through the soil; injection wells use high - pressure pumps to actively push water down into aquifers.

They used the model to estimate stress changes induced in the area by two wastewater injection wells and the more than 70 production wells that remove both natural gas and significant volumes of salty water known as brine.

The water well was a few miles away from the leaking injection well site, but environmental officials said the contaminants discovered in the water well were unrelated, mostly because they didn't include the level of sodium typical of brine.

«Salt water» brine migrated from the injection site and shot back to the surface through three old well holes nearby.

In a 2000 case that wasn't caused by injection but brought important lessons about how fluids could move underground, hydrogeologists concluded that bacteria - polluted water migrated horizontally underground for several thousand feet in just 26 hours, contaminating a drinking water well in Walkerton, Ontario, and sickening thousands of residents.

The EPA requires that Class 1 and 2 injection wells be drilled the deepest to assure that the most toxic waste is pushed far below drinking water aquifers.

The collection wells and trenches are designed to remove contaminated ground water by drainage or active pumping and the injection wells are designed to flush the alluvial aquifer with clean water from deeper wells.

The fundamental premise of the regulations is A) that drinking water is highly vulnerable to such injections and B) that the practice of injection can be made safe by rigorously regulating the well construction itself.
