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.

This drought is not caused by one senator dumping water into the ocean. This is climate change at work
Wyatt is putting his insanity on display.
Quit trying to grow crops in a freaking dessert!!
Lol, it’s insane to deny scientific fact
Sounds good James. I am good here with my clean water and air. You all stay there. Nature will run its course eventually and I’ll be better off.
There is a rising sea level and a means to process salt water to freshwater. Holy moly I thought of that in about 30 seconds. I’ll take my check now lol
