Differences in local geologies and hydrologic characteristics, land-use histories, industry practices, and monitored water contaminants can complicate comparisons across studies. Baseline conditions for water quality are often unknown or may have been affected by other activities. Nonetheless, empirical evidence of surface and groundwater contamination as a result of modern natural gas operations is documented.
