Jay Familglietti, NASA’s top water scientist, recently warned that California has only a year’s supply of water left in storage facilities and the backup groundwater is rapidly depleting. Despite this harrowing fact, California has no backup plan to address this crisis.
“California has no contingency plan for a persistent drought like this one (let alone a 20-plus-year mega-drought), except, apparently, staying in emergency mode and praying for rain,” stated Familglietti. “In short, we have no paddle to navigate this crisis.”
UPDATE: California Gov. Jerry Brown issues ineffectual, mandatory water restriction as one-third of our nation’s crops are threatened. See Page 3 for updates.

First of all I am a conservative and secondly California agriculture wastes millions of gallons of water with outdated watering and irrigation practices. PERHAPS YOU NEED TO DO YOUR RESEARCH. I have my own garden and hunt alot of my food, so if needed I could sustain my family and you?
California sucks!0
I’m sure Gov. Moonbeam will solve this. 😉
Oh ooooops dont worry californians are too worried about how they look to care about future living
You are way off…climate change is bull$#%&!@*. .global warming is f**e. .pick up a farmer almanac. ..I rest my case..the weather man can not tell me what the weather will be today and you want me to listen and believe what “they” they being government funded no nothings. ..all gore said it would be so hot by now tgat you would be scorched if you go outside. .yall are crazy if you believe this c**p..let’s talk about the environment and how the government want to protect it shall we ?? You can not make carbon on a large scale but you can if you pay a “carbon tax”…what about the fact that I leveled 112 acrs of trees and was not made to plant one tree in return but when I built on said land I hand to plant 6 oak trees..lmao ..also I had to stay 25ft away from the turtles because they are protected but for the cost of $5,000.00 each they would relocate them ??? If it really was about the turtles no amount of money would move them. …this is 100% man made drought. ….this is about control and money…take time to do homework. .pick up a farmers almanac. .we have hot years we have cold years we have years with little to no rain..it’s always been this way..give me a brake ..the only climate change that happens is when it changes from winter to spring and so on..lmao..you are all being lied to and all you have to do is READ a farmer almanac. If you do not know what that is its a book that has record of weather on every year for hundreds of years..you can not deny this fact.
Oh..and don’t forget that the water that is cut off to the farmers is also a third of the United States food supply. ..so good luck with staying alive..as for me I can hunt ,fish and grow
Sorry but this was complete bull $#%&!@*.
If all yall stupid Yankee liberals would pick up a farmers almanac and read it you would see that climate change is a lie ! Global warming is a lie !..wake up
That’s gonna suck. Good thing i live in Chicago.
They don’t have to worry. Unfortunately, they are all moving to Texas because their economy sucks.
