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.

You live in a desert and are surprised when the waters dries up. Yep, it’s a blue state.
But I thought Climate Change was a hoax….Silly Republicans
What planning-Why didnt they built water plants ??
Screw ’em? Why? Are you so misguided that you would celebrate a lack of the most basic human need because Californians have differing political and social views? You clearly don’t realize that 15 percent of the country’s exports come from CA and when they do poorly, we all suffer.
Ask the radical environmentalists about the Delta Smelt and why their water is going to a fish.
Really, Gov Brown? And today is the FIRST time you learned about this? Let me guess. If you get a few billion frim the feds, this problem goes away. Right? Makes a great story for a Sunday night movie. But I’m not buyin. “A” grade for imagination though!
