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.

Yea, California is going to be a desert.
Yes, sad because rules don’t apply to some people. I told someone yrs ago they should have desalination systems in place in Ca. Because they are going to have problems some day with water. When they get rain like other parts if the country, then houses start to fall off the falling cliffs. People are dumb. Think it through, first.
How about a water pipeline from Canada
Desalination and a Canadian water pipeline
I think they’re being punished for the water bottle craze
Send all illegals home that would save water, money,and cut down on crime. Welfare foodstamps and on and on. Need I say anymore
Crazy sick!
Higher taxes solved all their problems in the past. Why not now?
I agree with Mr. Johnson!
This is why I’ve voted against Brown and Boxer but we kept getting stuck with them!!
