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.

Fuk California hope the all thirst to death
No but the water they took was allot of water
Keep putting liberals in office out there keep getting no solutions pipe lines can move oil fast and safe they can move water too
Sounds serious we must pray this through.
Truth be told, The state’s officials brought it upon themselves. This is what happens when you prioritize money of people.
“Sure big oil, you can frack here, use all of the water from our limited supply that you want, because we get rich from it.”
“Sure Nestle, You suck up as much of our limited water supply as you want so you can bottle it and sell it back to us for a HUGE profit – *I* still get a fat check – I’ll be able to afford to buy plenty.”
— Now look at you. One of these days, you might understand that PEOPLE come BEFORE profits. You have only sold your voters out over and over again – just over the course of my lifetime. Then you have the nerve to act shocked when it blows up in your face. It MIGHT be convincing the first time. but after several decades of the SAME PATTERN – you have only your greed to blame.
Most people in California has a lot of money, even if poor the state should help them to drill their own well.
we heard the same c**p about peak oil a few years ago
Higher taxs will make it rain.
what kind of governor would set back and let this happen? a fool, A lot could have been done to avoid this, and still can
THISIS 2015,..WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE NOW???
But lets spend billions of dollars on a train, water is so underrated!
