The landscape north of Booneville in Arkansas in the US. This could happen in North Leitrim.

Google Earth is a really powerful tool, especially when it comes to environmental destruction. This image shows a distribution of fracking pads just north of a small town called Booneville in Arkansas in the US. Many more pads are planned for this area.

To see how close these pads are too homes and water supplies, run Google Earth and search for Booneville Arkansas. You can then zoom in and see the detail.

Not for the faint hearted.
