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.

Wtf is nasa doing this kind of research for. This has nothing to do with space or aeronautics
Gore said it would be under the ocean by the latest in 2012. That would help the water shortage. But as always, he was lying/wrong

Hooray less libtards
Focus on more gun bans, yeah, that makes sense…
No, Perry got thier companies to move to Texas bring in liberal voting employees. Nice to bring in the Business but it’s a catch 22.
Desalination Plants sound good until you have to dispose of the salt waste (brine) can’t put it back in the Ocean just any where. It has to go in where it can be dispersed or it will hurt sealife.
I wonder if ocean salt waste would melt ice. They are raping us up here on the price because of low supply
Well not only that but aren’t they really expensive and a big user of energy?
