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.

Shut up
Places like Louisiana could get in the act and grow more food and less sugarcane. We can dig two foot and hit water in a lot of the state.
It’s not the governments duty to provide jobs. Plus America moving more towards socialism and allowing a central bank to destroy our currency is why we are in the predicament we are in.
Thats a shame…
blah blah blah…we spend nearly $700 billion on Defense spending but only $99 for Transportation, $72B for Education, $35B for Energy and a measly $8B for Civil Works which BTW would be where the several desalinization facilities would be allocated to that California is disparate need of. Remember Jason…when the Romans weren’t warring they were building infrastructure – roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, schools, churches, irrigation systems, etc.
Wow. Then let the law of natural selection prevail.
Lol that would be too funny. I wonder how Mexico would handle illegal immigration to their country.
