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.

Check with Israel. They build and use these plants because they also sell water. If Californians are going to die, they will find ways to survive. Such doom and gloom comments are way off base when actual death stares them in the face.
They can sell water to surrounding states that need it, and that could go along way towards paying for the plants. Bonds for investors would also pay for them.
Because you have liberals running that state
Thanks for caring Kimberly Crawford Stigler
