As part of the EU-funded SHEER Project, a shallow aquifer used for drinking water, overlying a zone of active shale-gas fracking, has been monitored for more than a year. Early results reveal the functioning of the shallow aquifer and hydrochemistry, focusing on the identification of potential impacts from the shale gas operation. This stage is an essential precursor to modeling impact scenarios of contamination and to predict changes in the aquifer. date: 2017 date_type: published publication: Energy Procedia volume: 125 publisher: Elsevier pagerange: 106-115 id_number: doi:10.1016/j.egypro.2017.08.083 issn: 1876-6102 official_url: http://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2017.08.083 access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher acknowledgments2: IS-EPOS_platform acknowledgments2: SHEER_project citation: Montcoudiol, Nelly and Isherwood, Catherine and Gunning, Andrew and Kelly, Thomas and Younger, P.
