The primary concern associated with hydrofracking is its environmental impact, particularly on water quality and availability. This method of extracting natural gas involves injecting high-pressure fluid into underground rock formations, which can lead to groundwater contamination and the depletion of local water resources. Additionally, hydrofracking can cause seismic activity and habitat disruption. Public health risks, particularly from air and water pollution, further compound the concerns surrounding this controversial practice. Balancing energy needs with environmental protection remains a critical challenge in discussions about hydrofracking.
