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.

Yeah, how’s that liberal government working out for you there?
It’s Bush’s fault.
It’s almost like the climate is changing? If we only had 90% of scientists to back up a claim like that.
The democrats didn’t send Detroits jobs to china.
I see a lot of blaming democrats and Republicans. But not one idea about what to do
Maybe it’s because California isn’t supposed to be an area settled by large groups of people. It’s a DESERT, as in pequeno aqua.
Cali’s plan is the same as always: tax hikes and punishing the producing members of society.
