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.

Choo Choo is none negotiable, some rain dance from everyone can help.
Maybe if the Californian government allowed the state to build reservoirs , they wouldn’t have an issue. They haven’t built one in decades and they’re population has doubled in that time. 70% of their rainwater washes out to sea. Apparently frogs are more important then their citizens survival
Better start repenting California
