IMAGO Nature: Unsere Erde, Umweltverträgliche Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts, Fracking Aug. 20, 2012 - Brooklyn Township, Pennsylvania, U.S - A natural gas well being drilled near Dimock, Pennsylvania. 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 hydraulic fracturing (also known as 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
