Recent Examples of scrunchie from the Web. Every scrunchie, every record store world-music listening station, every manual car window, and every pay phone serves as a reminder that even the very recent past is a foreign country.
Groundwater is tapped through wells placed in water-bearing soils and rocks beneath the surface of the earth. Of the total 341 billion gallons of fresh water the United States withdraws each day, groundwater is estimated to be 79.6 billion gallons, or 23 percent.
But the older the field, the more water it takes to drive the oil to the surface. Globally, it takes approximately three barrels of water to produce each barrel of oil. In the U.S., it can take more than twice that amount, creating over a billion gallons of contaminated water per day. Which is exactly why one of the main focuses of this Summit was figuring out how to get the public to recognize contaminated water as a resource rather than a waste.
