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.

Well here’s their back up plan..they steal it from us…AZ and the other SW states. They have already commandeered our CAP project and now they want more of our water.
I know it’s federally ran but I still don’t want the federal government just running us into the ground. Shasta lake plays a fairly major roll in our economy. But it could do a ton more. If it was state ran.
Oh totally agreed
Good, let’s hope the whole west coast dries up and blows away.
And on the other hand the federal govt allows companies like Nestlé to make big money selling bottled water from the Great Lakes to china.
Liberals ain’t too bright….
