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.

$#%&!@* no let private companies do it not the stupid $#%&!@*ing government
Dems, Repubs….. it’s an illusion to make you think there are 2 sides. There’s only one side in Government. Their last guy, Our last guy…… wake the $#%&!@* up Idiot. Government VS People, that’s the real story.
In Louisiana, they filter ocean water for drinking by reverse osmosis. You’re not gonna run out of water, it’s a scam, a redirect of the m$#%&!@*es view….. slide of the hand. Create a distraction to get something else done. So, what happened to Ebola again?
Everything is fine. California will just p$#%&!@* some more laws and water will magically appear somehow because Global Climate Warming Change. New laws always fix everything, so don’t worry.
California government at work….
well its time to spend all of that money they rape the public out of in taxes to build some desalinization plants like it was suggested back in the 1970s
And we need a 95 billion dollar train. How about spend that money on water pipelines to Washington and back east. Just a thought.
Desalination is a great idea.
YES it is…. and has been for decades. Just convince the genius governor….
Good riddens
But they saved a small fish.
