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.

They can drink from a branch off the keystone pipeline!

By ruining National parks? It was bad enough when our greed, disguised as a need, took the Hetch Hetchy Valley. Do you really want to see them dam up something like Yosimite Valley? Bull $#%&!@*. Stop wasting water in pools and 3 showers a day as well as watering the lawn and you won’t use as much. Years of gluttony and utter disrespect of the water in a state that was a desert anyways, for far to many years, has a very high price to pay.
Liberals at work…
