/diy/ - Do It Yourself

It seems the quality of life where I live is about to take a very serious turn for the worse due to a major gas well boom in the entire area. After researching all the other places in the USA that have had the exact same booms I've come to the decision it is time to get the fuck out of dodge.

I'm innawoods right now, in an area where the population density is around 2 people per square mile. It was once a really nice place here. you could fish, hunt, and farm. Now you can't even eat fish out of the streams and most of the deer are really sick with something that makes their hair fall out; some peoples' pets and farm animals have the same problems. There's already 10,000s of wells around here and I don't know a single person that doesn't have one either on their land or can't find one after a 5 minute walk from their house. All of those are shallow wells. The deep wells are now starting to go in and there's several thousand of them slated to be drilled. A recent one took all the water out of the local city's water supply lake and left it almost bone dry.

I want to move someplace that doesn't have a lot of hot natural resources, there's a low population, the weather is temperate to tropical, and there's lush vegetation. I want to be able to drink the ground water and breath the air without worrying about endangering my immediate health. Here's some maps I've compiled together. I'm trying to get a sense of the healthiest locations in the USA.

Any tips, /diy/?
