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.

When you build huge cities in the desert or on the edge of a desert, what do you expect? The Californians should look to the west (That’s where that big ball of fire in the sky goes away and it gets dark.) All that water is called the Pacific Ocean, but it has salt in it that has to be removed. Am I going to fast for you?
I’ve seen several studies about this and believe there is a lot of truth to it. Instead of our government trying think of new ways to rob/tax us, they should be working on real problems like this.
When Arnold was governor, He wanted to have 10 new lakes built in north California. This was a few years ago. All these lakes would have been built near the mountains and more than enough snow runoff would be able to sustain these lakes. However every one of the liberals say NO! Not one liberal voted yes. Now you are whining about not having enough water. Reap what you sow. Another idea. get rid of your illegals and your water woes will be solved.
