IMAGO Nature: Unsere Erde, Umweltverträgliche Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts, Fracking Aug. 20, 2012 - Dimock, Pa, Pennsylvania, U.S - Dimock, Pennsylvania resident RAY KEMBLE holds a jug of contaminated water from his drinking well, which he says became contaminated after hydraulic fracturing (also known as fracking) began nearby. The rural community of Dimock is an epicenter of natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale region in northern Pennsylvania, with a large concentration of wells. It is also a locus of controversy as many residents saw their well water contaminated after Cabot Oil and Gas began fracking in Dimock. Some residents filed a lawsuit against Cabot which was recently settled, and in August the EPA finished testing wells in the area and found the water to be safe. - ZUMAm11
