The Shale Network, originally funded by the National Science Foundation, is a collaborative effort between Penn State, University of Pittsburgh, CUAHSI and the NSF to collect and analyze data on water quality in the Marcellus Shale drilling region. The workshop will provide an opportunity for watershed groups, researchers, experts, government officials, and members of the gas and environmental industries to compare lessons learned about water issues within the northeastern region of shale gas development. We emphasize data collection, publication, and sharing.
