Richard Hay, assistant director Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Center for Water Supply Studies uses a model to show how water flows through an underground aquifer. Hay said deep fracking wells are unlikely to contaminate more shallow freshwater wells.

KARNES COUNTY — Allan Hedtke does not worry so much whether nearby oil and gas fracking wells are contaminating his well water.

He worries when he'll run out of water altogether in Karnes County.

For more than 70 years, cold, sweet water has come out of his freshwater well, he said. That changed this year.

"We first started noticing problems when the fracking sites went active," he said.

Hedtke's well, originally set to draw water from 300 feet, is 500 feet now and can't go any deeper. The water filter in his spring house fills with sand every few days, he said. To read more click here.
