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.

Feed them cake
The population of California uses only 20% of the total amount of water in this state and we are the ones that have to cut back. We are the ones who are fined and restricted. That is stupidity at its finest. Have the industry cut back 20%, problem solved.
they should have shipped New Englands snow out to them by reefer cars
whoops….bummer drags…
Give Calif. back to Mexico.
Liberalism at it’s finest.
The EPA should once again allow the transfer of water from the North.
