Comparatively, the amount of water used in fracking constitutes about .0004 of a percent of the water used in the state; the same amount used by 500 households or single golf course over a year.

Thanks for your info. So the water used annually by a single golf course will run how many tracking wells, on average?

First recognize that fields can very greatly, a place like South Texas Eagle Ford uses far more water than most other hydraulic fractured wells.

Secondly, a golf course in Southern California uses far more water than other, wetter, locations.

So this isn’t an apples to oranges comparison, it can be apples to aircraft carrier comparison.

So with those qualification, I still don’t know. I haven’t found the way source for how many wells were hydraulically fractured in California during 2013.

But according to the Forbes article, one golf course there equals all of the fracked wells there.
