One of the big issues with fracking is how much water it uses and virtually all of the fracking in TX goes on in areas which have little water to begin with. And as most of TX is in it's third year of drought it is going to get worse. The amount of water per frack varies but runs between 5 - 20 million gallons.. That is a lot of water to pump out of the ground in a semi-arid region and once it is gone, it is gone... (or rather pumped back into the ground as toxic waste).
Pick your poison I guess re: your groundwater: possibility of it being polluted or possibility of it just being pumped dry.
