The word 'fracking' in this thread specifically refers to giving the earth an enema.

Not only is water recyclable it recycles itself, so I think the concern is not so much with water but with the waste. If sewer water can be recycled into clean drinking water then I don't know why any other waste water couldn't be recycled.

A quick google search shows me that the EPA has been on top of this issue, and has issued at least one fine again ...[text shortened]... me replacing oil with something that can evaporate and easily disperse would also be a concern.

Radioactive water can be recycled?

I don't think either Hydrogen or Oxygen has a radioactive isotope so water itself cannot be radioactive

That is probably just water with dissolved uranium. You can distill that.
