Abstract

The development and effective use of natural resources is essential for meeting crucial societal needs and for the economic development of a nation. Discussed here is the case of hydraulic fracturing which is used to fracture underground formations to recover natural gas and oil. Described in the article are economic benefits and environmental and human health implications of this technology; views on these aspects rapidly become controversial. Presented here is a consensus building paradigm to address and mitigate controversies related to the implementation of this technology.
