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.

When everyone flees maybe property values will get back to reasonable prices.
Get rid of all of the illegals and shut down all swimming pools public and private and that should give you enough water
Goodbye sin city of America.
Quit pouing over half of your water supply to the sea in order to save certain fush!
Hers an idea and it can be done turn salt water into drinking water pump it from the ocean duh?
Well, it’s their own damn fault.
It could not have happen to a better state
The solution is in their back yard. Its called the Pacific Ocean..its called desalinization..
Good idea since they will be rising at some point due to the non-existent global warming. They do it on ships every day so why not? Because the power and water companies don’t want to spend the money. They would rather that it became a national emergency and the rest of us could pay for it through an already mismanaged federal program.
National Emergency could foster Martial Law, so build desalination plants for goodness sake !!
