More Than Enough Fracking Water In North Dakota; Lake Sakakawea Update; Five Feet High And Rising: Rising More Than Anticipated; Montana Snow Melt Five feet high and rising -- I can't make this stuff up. Regular readers know that there is more than enough fresh water for fracking in North Dakota. For background, there is a "FrackingWater" tag at the bottom of the blog. For newbies, this is always kind of fun: So, how much water is being released from the Garrison Dam today? Dynamic link here. The answer: 20,000 cubic feet/second. A cubic foot of water: 7 gallons. So, in one second: 140,000 gallons of water released from the Garrison Dam today In one minute: 8 million gallons of water released from the Garrison Dam today In one hour: 500 million gallons of water released from the Garrison Dam today Less then 4 million gallons of water are used to frack a well, but let's keep it simple: 500 million gallons / 5 million gallons = 100 wells If I did the arithmetic correctly, enough water is released from the Garrison Dam each hour to frack 100 wells. 2,000 wells will be fracked this year. Less than a day's worth of discharge from the Garrison Dam should be enough water to frack all the wells that will be fracked in the North Dakota Bakken this year.
