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.

I think you’ve mixed up which party doesn’t believe in science
Fracking and irrigation of crops use large amounts of fresh water that are not recovered. That fact has nothing to do with politics – more is going out than is coming back in.
Justin what do you and your boyfriend contribute?
Lol last time California voted for a republican was in 88. #libertarianperspective #cantblamekitonpubsthistimelib.
