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.

Posted this a month ago, now it hits the news. Tell me the news is not censored…They have a De-Sal plant in LA, but it doesn’t come close to the water needs of the city, however, it does supply some, (a drop in the bucket). And if Companies didn’t send billions of gallons of water overseas, there would be a light at the end of the tunnel, but now it seems too late…Hold your breath out west, and hope and pray it rains like hell, and soon…
Quit building dams! This is a man made drought.
