LETS GO FRACKING HELL YEAH GOOD
Calling an aquifer “well water” really inspires confidence in the person who made this graphic
yeah, all my water comes from one. we can’t just desalinate to our heart’s content, not without fusion, or at least dirt cheap solar and operating facilities at 50% capacity. and even then you’d either have to release that brackish water into the ocean again (which has it’s problems) or have a giant landfill of salt somewhere

How about fission? The soviets built at least one nuclear plant that boiled salt water for cooling, which supplied the city with drinking water, other plants include desalination facilities to decrease corrosion.
brackish water
Do you mean briny water?
As someone who works in heavy industry, I can assure you that all things go according to plan and there definitely isn’t a tremendous amount if hazardous waste that just gets strewn about all the time because everyone is too tired and frustrated to give a fuck.
doing things close to underground water reserves is famously not a problem at all and could never cause lasting problems in people and it is all worth it as long as get that OIL
We love our flammable tap water, don’t we folks?
FUCK THE PLANET, GOTTA GET THAT OIL AND/OR GAS
