But increasingly, Colorado and other states are looking at ways to clean the wastewater enough that it can be used in other mining operations instead of fresh water. It’s an intriguing idea in Colorado, where fresh water supplies have been strained by a two-decade megadrought.</p><p>However, Ryan, an expert on contaminant fate and transport in waterways who was not involved in the research, has significant doubts about the utility of the development.</p><p>“It’s a questionable solution to a problem that just doesn’t seem at the top of the list of importance if you’re trying to do something with produced water,” Ryan said.</p><p class="lead"><a href="https://coloradosun.com/2024/07/25/viruses-clean-wastewater-fracking-research/" rel="nofollow">Read the full article at the Colorado Sun.</a></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Thu, 25 Jul 2024 21:56:17 +0000 Anonymous 4962 at /even /even/2023/08/23/prof-ryan-talks-colorado-oil-and-gas-drilling-new-podcast <span>Prof. Ryan talks Colorado oil and gas drilling in new podcast</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2023-08-23T13:09:23-06:00" title="Wednesday, August 23, 2023 - 13:09">Wed, 08/23/2023 - 13:09</time> </span> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle focal_image_wide"> <img loading="lazy" src="/even/sites/default/files/styles/focal_image_wide/public/article-thumbnail/ryan_2013-12-11_casey_cass_1_jpg.jpg?h=17fede75&amp;itok=poOVS1v0" width="1200" height="800" alt="Joe Ryan"> </div> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-tags" itemprop="keywords"> <span class="visually-hidden">Tags:</span> <div class="ucb-article-tag-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-tags"></i> </div> <a href="/even/taxonomy/term/215" hreflang="en">Joseph Ryan News</a> <a href="/even/taxonomy/term/33" hreflang="en">News</a> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default 3"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><p><a href="/even/node/285" rel="nofollow">Joseph Ryan</a> is a featured in a new episode of The Sweaty Penguin podcast, a product of New York PBS affiliate WNET.</p><p>The podcast focuses on issues related to climate change with a serious and humorous edge.
