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.

Uh… I think you might have replied to the wrong comment
Sorry
6th biggest economy in the world. Home of Facebook, Google, SpaceX. People love to hate California. Home to an incredible aqueduct system that feeds much of the nation. Yeah California sucks…haters gonna hate.
except the libs turned the central valley water off for a stupid fish and now our great farming area is a dustbowl. this drought is politically created by a bunch of eco-fascist nutcases. if you’d just gtfo of my state and leave and we take it back from the granola heads then we can live again.
I guess your looking for 72 degrees…….everyday, oh wait that’s not right. So politicians (and you) know exactly how cold any winter should be. Or how hot any summer. Tell a lie big enough and people will believe it. It will do not good to tell you it’s about $ and control, but it is. How cold should it be next winter? We can’t say now but someone next winter will invariably say it’s too warm or too cold. Will that someone be you?
