In most vases the water is not reused. Typically the water is mixed with sand and a relatively small amount of chemicals like biocide. After it injected the removed from the petroleum reservoir, most dispose of it in a deep injection well.

Some are startiing to clean it up enough for another frack job but most don’t due to greater expense.
