drinking water wells near active natural gas wells, the methane was old and therefore fossil natural gas from the Marcellus Shale, rather than more freshly produced methane.
Methane is naturally occurring, but fracking can force methane to migrate underground to
drinking water wells where it might not otherwise be present.

Not only does it not contain electrolytes, but drinking too much without taking in an appropriate amount of electrolytes at the same time will lead to an imbalance — read: you can
drink water well past the point of quenching your thirst, but it won't recharge you.
According to reports, even after reclamation efforts,

Beginning in 2008, the EPA took water samples from residents»
drinking water wells, finding hydrocarbons and traces of contaminants that seemed like they could be related to fracking.
But continuous need for washing out salty drilling water means wells may use more than three times the initial amount of freshwater — that's roughly six million more gallons per well — and put huge additional pressure on aquifers and
drinking water wells.
«This study constitutes an important contribution to the understanding of contaminants in private
drinking water wells,» says Patrick Phillips, a scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Troy, N.Y., who has done extensive studies of household contaminants in groundwater.
