A desert is a watershed which has been drained of water.

Forest Watershed (animals, plants, water) A Forest Watershed has plants, animals, and water, which live in a semi-closed, mutually interdependent ecosystem.

Desert (few animals or plants, little water) A desert is a watershed which has been drained of water. In a desert there are few trees which pump deep water into the atmosphere to create rainclouds. There are no trees because they have been cut, or the land is toxic (as with the addition of salt or other poisons) Watersheds do not easily communicate between each other. (Or else a desert would get rain from other watersheds)

Hydrofracking pushes us towards desertification in these ways:

1. trees cut for roads, pipelines, well pads
2. drainage of water
3. addition of salt and other poisons

I believe the largest danger of hydrofracking
is the desertification of forest land,
and this could bring about a massive loss of
human, plant, bird, and animal life.
