[A] widely used secondary recovery method is water flooding. Water, after treatment to remove certain impurities, is injected through some of the wells. In moving through the formation, it pushes oil toward the remaining production wells. The wells to be used for water injection are usually spaced evenly among the producing wells so that the oil has the shortest possible paths to follow. 5, record 1, English, - water%20flooding
