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.

Fiscal condition: The status of a firm’s $#%&!@*ets, liabilities and equity positions at a specific point in time, often described in a financial statement.
Your budget may be balanced, but you’re still broke. You’re the one that brought up budget;)
this is a politically created drought by a bunch of leftist eco-fascist ntus. they turned the water off for a fish, killed our farmlands and started a drought. if you wanted man-made climate change – that is it. there was no water to cycle because crazy libnuts killed it. gtfo of my state and go home granola heads, you’ve hurt it enough.
Charge more for water, less in fixed monthly “taxes/fees”.

Lol yeah build a metropolis in the desert nothing can go wrong. Dumb $#%&!@* people
Scot, have a beer and relax, my point is I live where there is plenty of water, like mankind has done since millenia. Cali’s problem, the numb-skulls move to where there was no water, dammed and pipe-lined themselves for water, never thinking drought would take place. Ever hear of feast, famine, or drought?
Most people don’t know order is the most important problem D whirl faces to day
At least will have high-speed rail LOL
Stephen… with all due respect… throughout all of recorded and scientifically provable history.. weather is cyclical. we ARE in fact in a warming trend in certain regions of the world. I $#%&!@*ure you… the world will again be cold enough to replenish the glacial melts that have occurred over the ages.
Cl$#%&!@*ic case of “I have all the water that I need for today.” We should be worrying about the Earth we are leaving for future generations but they can’t even give a rat’s tail about what they will do next month. Pathetic. Just don’t ask the Great Lakes to bail you out. We’ve been protecting our valuable resource for years.
