The Potential Environmental Impact from Fracking in the Delaware River Basin

This study aims to model the landscape of the Marcellus Shale region to predict how it may change in the future in response to the expansion of natural gas extraction, and, in particular, what impact this may have on the Delaware River Basin. The results are intended to help decision-makers and the public understand the scale of the potential impacts.
