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.

Liberalism is a mental disorder – the entire length of the state is bordered by (salt) water, should have planned ahead and built desalinization plants and dams inland to catch and store the snow melt and rain from the mountains – dumb$#%&!@*es…
But, they saved some little fish (at least until the last of the water dries up)!
We can have an 80 BILLION dollar train but no desalt water plants?? I’m getting sick of liberal failed policies.
Salty water that’s unusable.

Both are states I would have never guess lol. I would have thought that the Dakota’s or something like that would have been number one. Not Cali or Texas.
Why are people putting this off as a political issue? Typical morons. Always pointing fingers… This is a human issue. And humans need to come together to fix it. Not blame another group of people.
pump in water from the great lakes. create jobs and solve a crisis.
and like Jim Hastings said…… , really ??? no desalination plants. wtf ??? you have a damn ocean over there…. use it. morons. use some of those illegals you love so much to solve your water issue
Here’s a brilliant idea… How bout we don’t grow the majority of the country’s food in the freaking dessert……
