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.

Back up folks.
Engineers build dams to capture water without consideration for the amount of silt, sand and gravel that any given river moves creating a catch basin for the mud.
When lake levels get too low due to the depth of the bottom rising and filling with silt the only way to fix it is to drain the reservoir creating a water shortage as seen in California. Fix the lake, close the outlet and presto, water. They didn’t plan, that’s the problem.

So Mike and Matt benzine has become non toxic as of when?
Yup
We need to have desalination plants every 50 miles along the coast. We can solve our entire nation’s water supply problem.
AAAAANNNNND where do so many of the fruits and veggies come from that we buy at the local grocery? Watch the prices spike as we turn to Mexico and farther south to fill the void!
