Fracking (hydraulic fracturing of hydrocarbon producing formations) is objected to because if creates uncontrolled interconnections between various strata of the rock below ground. These interconnections can allow chemicals in the fracking fluids, hydrocarbons (gas and oil), salt water or sulphidic water to migrate from the producing formations to porable water horizons and interfere with the quality of water used for human consumption, livestock or agriculture. While the amount of water used is considerable compared to individual use it is in line with many other industrial uses and even golf courses.
