The Committee is a source for information on technology that has been used or tested in the Barnett Shale in regards to fresh and produced water management.  Members of the Committee have access to a repository for different technologies that are being evaluated and employed by the industry. 

Regulations vary widely from state to state; therefore, the committee does not comment on issues involved in plays other than the Barnett Shale.  However, our website is a place for factual information about why something works in one play, but cannot be used in another.  Our goal is to become a valuable resource to those that are concerned with the government relations or public relations aspects of water in the states they are doing business.
