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.

The Genius State
I have an idea to remedy this. Raise taxes & lash out at the evils of capitalism and demonize the Koch brothers. Problem solved, California style.
Southern Cal was not ment to have people if you gotta pipe water in don’t $#%&!@*ing move there, and if your City is below sea level don’t $#%&!@* when it floods (New Orleans)
Maybe all the illegals they begged to come in will consume what’s left of it.
