Minimizing the environmental impacts of this energy transition requires a contextualized understanding of the unique regional issues that shale gas development poses. This manuscript highlights the variation in regional water issues associated with shale gas development in the U.S. and the approaches of various states in mitigating these impacts. The manuscript also explores opportunities for emerging international shale plays to leverage the diverse experiences of U.S. states in formulating development strategies that minimize water-related impacts within their environmental, cultural, and political ecosystem. date: 2014 date_type: published publication: Environmental Science and Technology volume: 48 number: 15 publisher: American Chemical Society pagerange: 8298-8306 id_number: 10.1021/es405432k issn: 1520-5851 access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher citation: Mauter, Meagan S. and Alvarez, Pedro J.J. and Burton, Allen and Cafaro, Diego C. and Chen, Wei and Gregory, Kelvin B. and Jiang, Guibin and Li, Qilin and Pittock, Jamie and Reible, Danny and Schnoor, Jerald L.
