While the Peace region experienced severe drought conditions, the B.C. government allowed the fracking industry to pollute more freshwater than ever before.
As shown in our latest report [1], oil and gas companies took a record 6 billion litres of freshwater for fracking last year – an increase of 16% since 2022, and enough to supply every B.C. household for a week.
The freshwater that fracking operations use and turn into toxic wastewater can’t be used again – it’s gone forever from the water cycle.
That’s why we are calling on the B.C. government to reduce the amount of water that fracking companies take by making some common-sense changes to the way they regulate the oil and gas industry.
