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.

let’s sow the seeds of panic !!!
For California I hope they all $#%&!@*ing go to hell
They are a lot smarter than the poor silly democrats . Look who California has for Governor if that tells you anything . Cannot blame that one on Bush and the republicans. LOL
Gates had been building the backup plan for years. ..
Sure I can. Last I checked. The GOP ruined California economy and gave it a 4 billion dollar deficit. The democrats ball ended their budget. By the way the GOP electorate is statistically less educated so don’t go there on smarts.
They need to repent and God will here their prayers
Scary.
Sink it! Then it will have all the water it needs.
I wonder if flushing their water storage into San Francisco Bay to save a questionable fish was a good idea? Their only problem is stupidity. This has nothing to do with climate change. I suppose you could say it was man made.
