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.

Invade Canada they have plenty
Don’t care!!! The people in California have made there bed. They voted the state government in. The government of California choose not to build any water storage facilities. Such as a DAM. And flushing millions of freash water into the ocean. All because if the pumped the water to where it need to go to. All that for the Delta Smelt fish. Would’ve got caught in the pumps.
I sense a government bail out
.Ce n’est plus vrai en 2015 car ici au nord de la Californie il y a encore de la neige et au degel les reservoirs se rempliront et c’est ce qui se p$#%&!@*e actuellement.
