TechKnow - Does fracking cause earthquakes?
in the last few years, there has been a notable increase in earthquakes in areas with fracking and injection wells.On this episode of TechKnow, we travel to two small neighbouring towns in Texas which have seen a jump in seismic activity.We meet researchers at the Southern Methodist University trying to find out whether pressure from the injection process of the left-over waste water is re-awakening deep and ancient faults. We then look at a new way of dealing with the left-over waste water.
