The landscapes of the Northeast and Midwest depend on abundant and relatively predictable seasonal water regimes. Human uses of water compete with environmental flows for aquatic species, especially during drought periods. Climate change is predicted to increase temperatures and precipitation variability in the Northeast United States, causing shifts in seasonality.
Potential shifts in seasonality in the Northeast…
A small well located in Scio, Ohio used for hydraulic fracturing. The tower is the drill used to make the hole which will later be used to shoot liquid down to fracture the rock and extract the petroleum products. Sometime these areas are called Well Pads.
