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.

“Global Warming”? We should have more water then. See. Problem solved.
Isn’t water levels suppose to be rising? Lol…
Couldn’t happen to a better state.
Columbia River, Oregon/Washington, we have plenty!
Yes Tony. The only problem is that global warming creates more water in the form of sea level rise. Which means the additional water is salt water. Not fresh water
Yet they allow millions of illegals to come in and use what they do have….
Let’s also keep in mind that a couple of years ago California drained a reservoir that held 5 years worth of water to save the Delta Smelt fish…which killed thousands of fish in the process. Oh California lol
There is no drought.
There is no climate change.
Republicans don’t believe in so it must be true.
Good for them way to look ahead!!!!!
Las Vegas has no water and they do just fine …but then again…they aren’t neck deep in liberal bull$#%&!@*
