Answer:

Fracking has adverse effect on water resources. The most potent danger lies in the fact that the fracking fluid may flow back to the surface and contaminate water.The fracking fluid contains toxins and carcinogen along with sand. This fluid when mixes with fresh water resources by any chance will prove hazardous. And hence degrade the availability and quality of potable water.

Explanation:

Fracking or hydraulic fracturing is a technique used by industries to bring out oil and gas from the rock reservoirs.
In this process a fluid known as fracking fluid is forcefully injected into the rock so that a fissure can be created and the rock breaks open due to the extreme pressure of the fluid.
Fracking fluid can prove itself to be a environmental Hazard , because of the toxic chemicals and carcinogens mixed in it.
