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.

Well if Californians would come together. Give the middle finger to the tree huggers and start building more dams to catch runoff water. Maybe water problems wouldn’t be an issue!
Good. Now when they all shrivel up like raisins they’ll have another cash crop to export other than almonds.
Should be Away to use salt water. Start working on it . If not ya’ll go north .
Might want to think about the regulations on the books.
Who cares who is ran by. Well when ca stops producing the majority of this country’s food I’m sure you hillbillies woll have a change of thought.
Don’t worry. I’m sure they will just take it from someone else
Stop
Protecting some fish that people have been eating for years!! Cuz let’s face it no water, no fishy!!
My pine trees are turning yellow. Redwood is turning brown. I see a lot of discolored trees across the valley.
How many millions of gallons of water does fracking use???
Typical. Southern California was a desert. You have a valley that could feed the world for 6 months, and with “global warming”, the ocean would be a natural resource. The plants along all of our shorelines should have been done years ago. Works well for Saudi Arabia.
