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.

If only they would have allowed people to collect rainwater there would be small surplus throughout that area.

The desalination of sea water is about double the cost of importing it. Good luck finding a politician that will agree to that…

Conservative, Cons$#%&!@*utionalist here. This is everybody’s problem. I don’t care so much what the causation is. I care about the solution. Climate has shifted somehow and we need to recognize it. My pride is not that strong.
You mean 29 million illegal aliens are in trouble.
