With oil reserves dropping in Mexico (and somehow we¿re supposed to buy the argument that more exploitation means more oil), PEMEX plans for facking move ahead. According to Regeneration and PEMEX documents, areas where fracking will occur spread over seven states … mostly in the water-scarce, and agricultureally dependent north, while a second fracking site is located on the earthquake-prone Oaxaca-Veracruz border.
While the connection between fracking and earthquakes is highly probable, but not proven beyond a shadow of a doubt (enough in a criminal case for an indictment in the U.S., or preventive detention here), there is no question of the dangers to the water supply. Such as it is. This in a country where people kill each other over water rights.
