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, James, it would appear that your stupid $#%&!@* wish is about to be granted.
No, but regulations regarding industry have been rolled back by Republicans, along with consistently denying climate change.
You might want to upgrade from playing checkers to chess….. or just step away from the keyboard
This is no good…
Het rid of the illegals drinking all that free water

Wyatt, did you know that it was a democratic senator that emptied a trillion gallons of water back into the ocean just to save some river smelt? And if what regulations are you talking about? There are 3 times as many regulations in place now than there were 5 yrs ago.
