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.

Good By?
Pay your taxes California. Your water will be plentiful.
Sure there’s a plan. Spend spend spend and blame non existent republicans.
Dear Lord,
Please don’t let the gay-loving “tolerant” hippies migrate South.
Amen
California has had nothing but drought. In the 90s they broke a 7 or 10 year drought, for a couple years.
There’s plenty of water right beside them (Pacific ocean), crank up your 10-15 desalinization water plants you shut down in the 90s and apply some new technology to them. Boom – problem solved.
I’m not making any claims about people who do not pray. I’m just simply saying the power of prayer can go a long way.
Just like its state budget
What times of year were these pictures taken?
This will be everyone’s problem when the Californians move
