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.

Desalination is expensive. But i guess it’s better then no water at all. I fear what will happen to the cost of food
Devyn. Can we be friends on facebook? I need west coasters that hate obama in my news feed
The poor fish
T he backup plan was global warming. Algore promised that the Earth would start to flood due to melting ice caps. THIS WAS THE PLAN PEOPLE!!!
Well there is plenty of water in Alaska and Canada. Maybe we could hold off on running an oil pipeline to the gulf for oil exportation and run one to California for water. It creates the same amount of jobs and we wouldn’t be shooting ourselves in the foot by exporting oil.
That’s their own problem for electing radical left wing environmentalist … Save the fish and go thirsty my friends !
I bet the politicians paddled up this creek. Keep voting with emotion California.
Sucks to be you guys
Better water those golf courses
No cause there’s no such thing as God stop beleaving in fairy tales. Also if that was the case he’s punishing us all then how much food you think is grown in CA
