There's one important principal of liquids: gravity.

Would you drink water from a water table that was below oil? No. Because the oil would be pulled down by gravity and contaminate the water.

Most fracking is done below the water table and is thus safe.

However, if they frack above a water table (unusual), that can contaminate water, as the Liberal WSJ notes:http://www.wsj.com/articles...

Because fracking doesn't involve breaking the rock, so that liquids separated by layers of rock are separated. Also, the wells used to inject nasties and extract lovely beautiful fossil fuels don't go through the layer where the water is, and anyway, if they even did, everyone knows that oil wells never leak! Look at the Gulf of Mexico, where they've been extracting oil for ages without a single significant problem!

You're right. It's not fracking that's causing water contamination, it's drilling:

Which has been going on for 100+ years, nothing new here...

They have video of fracking companies dumping the waste water into unlined pits next to an orchard. So there is that problem....

Thats another problem California has a company illegally bottling water from public land that they sell outside of California.

I'm not surprised. But again, not a problem of fracking. Same problem with industrial agriculture (especially pig farms) or any muncipal dump located over a shallow water table. Ever eat bacon or throw batteries in the trash?
