By: Garrett

Federal officials are studying the effects of the Rocky Mountain Region's energy boom on water. A meeting of National Academy of Sciences, and federal regulators met Sunday to review the effects of coal-bed methane drilling on the surface and groundwater. The BLM asked the National Research Council of The National Academy of Sciences to review information about coal-bed methane's effect on water. The study will focus on coal-bed methane in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota, and Utah.
