The effects of coal on water in the Unated States

America uses 1 billion tons of coal a year

Mining companies use 800-3,000 gallons of water to extract, transport, store, process, dispose 1 ton of coal.

55-75 trillion gallons withdrawn annually that`s roughly equal to the torrent of water that pours over Niagara falls 5 months of the year.
