My suggestion is to do a detailed study indicating the productivity of the aquifer and its capacity to yield new water. All aquifers have certain capacity to deliver water which depends on the aquifer's recharge capacity. In other words - as we draw more water from a given aquifer with wells (especially if the aquifer is confined) than what aquifer natural recharge rate is, than slowly the water level in the aquifer will go down and some wells may dray up for this reason. If the rate of aquifer withdrawal is higher than the rate of recharge, hydro-fracturing is not likely to help.
