Very little in total volume comes from fracing - mostly from producing hydrocarbons from the Miss Lim fm. - and surprisingly, a good percentage comes from other states that truck their water to OK for disposal; that should be stopped. The water we (company I work for) use in fracing is mostly recycled and reused. The success of fracing has been instrumental in helping to keep the US from importing a high-percentage of foreign oil. I suggest to anyone to read "The Moral Cause for Fossil Fuels".
