In New Mexico, oil and natural gas production and fracking uses less than 1% of the state’s annual water consumption, while the vast majority of water continues to be consumed by individuals or other water-dependent industries like agriculture and farming.
Many operators in New Mexico utilize closed-loop water recycling systems to dramatically reduce water consumption and reuse water for fracking or other operations.
