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.

Okay folks we only got a year to build a wall and put in minefields to contain the terrorist threat that is California.

Well i would suggest STOP letting the sprinkler system run on the ugly $#%&!@* weeds along the road ways. Think of how much water thatd save lol i have no pitty for ya.
Idiots. Over a snail or a small fish?
Just had this conversation with a friend last night.
‘So what, we live in Pennslvania’.
Exactly. It will screw us. All of us.
Have more move into the state from across the border and use even more water so they will less than a year then Obama and moonbeam will wonder what do to next maybe tax something else or executive order their way out of it. It will be fun to watch.
CA stopped the water supply to farmers to save a minnow
Desert symptoms. Natures natural curse.
Ahh, how about they start a program to capture rainfall and filter it intend of letting it runoff into the Ocean? Instead of the EPA considering rain runoff as a pollutant they could solve their own problem. Have you ever seen the water collection containers you can put under the gutters from the roof? They should be mandatory in CA. In a pinch you can boil and drink it. It can certainly be used for outdoor uses.
Ya think?
