Water issues in North Texas

One major water issue in north texas is the contamination of water due to drilling for natural gas. Hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking", allows oil and gas trapped underneath layers of rock to be obtained. This method can taint ground water, sometimes containing enough methane to ignite. Some choose to protest against the method, or vote against it.
