They have to contend with pork that is sometimes injected with water to make it heavier or, worse still, with poisonous chemicals to make the meat less fatty.

Ninety-two people had the drug injected into a vein, while another 93 were injected with salty water.
Wells are bored and pathways are created inside hot rocks, into which cold water is injected.
With EGS, holes are drilled deep into hot rock and water is injected into the cracks.
However, even if water is injected through pipes, it generally at some point must come in contact heated rock, i.e. leave the pipes.
FORBES: Google Funded Project Confirms Vast Potential for Geothermal Energy
Geothermal power plants turn hot water into steam or vapor to run a turbine and generate electricity, after which the water is injected back into the underground geothermal reservoir.
In this process, after a well is drilled, pressurized water is injected into the well to fracture the shale and open fissures that enable natural gas to flow more freely out of the well.
FORBES: Chesapeake Good For $38 But Faces Big Fracking Headaches
What makes this prosecution particularly senseless is that the Safe Drinking Water Act was adopted to prevent the pollution of water supplies, yet the evidence at trial convincingly demonstrated (and the trial judge so held) that the water King injected into his irrigation wells contained absolutely no contaminants.

These fractures are then connected to create an artificial reservoir in which water can be injected to create steam.
About 25, 000 wells a year are being fracked, a process in which water, chemicals and sand are injected at high pressure underground to release trapped natural gas.
The first well supplies oxidants (a mixture of water and air or water and oxygen), which are injected into the location where the process is actually occurring.
FORBES: Underground Coal Gasification: A Trend Worth Watching
Next week, if all goes according to plan, a small mountain of snow will be melted, repeatedly sterilised and then injected in a high-pressure stream of near-boiling water to clear a bore-hole through the two miles of the ice-sheet.
During fracking, large volumes of water, along with sand and hazardous chemicals, are injected into the ground to break rock apart and free the oil and gas.
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 exempted hydraulic fracturing operations from the Safe Drinking Water Act, freeing drilling companies from the obligation to disclose the chemicals injected into deep shale formations to shatter shale and convey gas back to the well.
When the drilling is finished, water, combined with chemicals designed to reduce friction and serve other purposes, is injected from the surface into the well shaft at very high pressures, thereby fracturing the shale rock formations far below, and making it possible to extract economically the natural gas embedded in the shale.
