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.

We need to do blasting on the Nevada state line
Swimming pools. Lush landscaping. No planning.
Nestle doesn’t have a permit because they are drilling on reservations. Thomas Dannaher Shuck doesn’t know anything
Watering those private Golf courses… for the rich so Oblabber can play golf…
and supporting millions of illegals…
Are we suppose to be sympothetic to a state that doesn’t know how to dig more lakes or make existing ones deeper to hold more water when it does rain! Hell, France and Britain dug a 34 mile tunnel under the sea, and California cant dig a few lakes!
Water reservoirs have fed the m$#%&!@*es for centuries but not going to happen in CA . They are too smart for that.
A hard choice… do you put out the wild fires or water the golf courses?
Desalination is the only hope.
That’s really helpful. Thanks.
