“Even as the drought bore down, even as the water levels declined, the oil industry continued to demand water and those with water on their land were willing to sell it. The road west of town was lined with signs advertising ‘fresh water’, where tankers can take on a box-car-sized load of water laced with industrial chemicals. ‘If you’re going to develop the oil, you’ve got to have the water,’ said Larry Baxter, who installed two frack tanks on his land earlier this year. By his own estimate, his well could produce enough to fill up 20 or 30 water trucks for the oil industry each day. At $60 (£39.58) a truck, that was $36,000 a month, easily. ‘I could sell 100 truckloads a day if I was open to it,’ Baxter said.”
