Hands down the number one complaint by those individuals living in the active Marcellus Shale play of Pennsylvania is truck traffic. As a landowner and one of those said individuals, I too can be heard from time to time muttering to myself as I sit behind a caravan of trucks.

Seneca Resources is taking this line of thinking even further. Read on to learn all about their innovative water withdrawal system.
