What are the damages?

  It can vary. When earthquakes happen due to the drilling and reinjection, it can obviously displace the ground which could destroy the roads or buildings located there. Below the surface, the earthquakes and changes in pressure from adding and removing fluids/gas from the ground often cause the aquifer water to mix with the fracking fluids or shale gas causing it to be unusable.
