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.

It isn’t as if this just crept up on California, they have known this would happen yet didn’t do anything about it. With a coast line as long as Californias why haven’t they built desalination plants? duh! no run out and the rest of the country will have to suffer, stupid liberal state. Just think, all of the butterflies and unicorns won’t have anything to drink now……..
I just finished a book on this scenario…
God if it were only true! Does ANYONE believe this $#%&!@*? West Coast? Ocean? Desalination? We would all be better off if California sunk into said ocean!
Bankrupt
I feel sorry for California but hey guys somebody watching is somebody in the State House the Capitol
Someone was not paying attention and more concerned about making money in politics I guess feel sorry for you guys in California I really do hope you can make it work
No back up plan because you too busy supporting it illegal aliens no backup plan because Jerry Brown is an $#%&!@*hole no backup plan because they deserve what they get no LeBatard state
Why haven’t they built more reservoirs? Why haven’t they put into place responsible growth plans? Why haven’t they called for the immediate deportation of 6 million illegals in CA that use our water? Why haven’t they done anything? Lib$#%&!@*s.
Don’t care
Oh well!
