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.

The EPA has drained the reservoirs, this is a man made disaster …How can you believe anything NASA says since they have been caught changing records of earth temps rising.
The problem is Jerry Brown.
Yall will be ok…..you saved a minnow from extinction.
Would like to know in what months each of the two pictures above were taken.
Good point, Gary! But seriously, how about praying for rain instead of blaming people?
The problem in California is a political failure driven by environmental wacko’s that refuse to even discuss additional water storage. At the same time these very same people are encouraging illegal aliens to flood the state. It’s a very easy mathematical equation.
2016 California closed do to lack of water
build a water pipeline
Don’t worry Obama will save us all.
Yeah. But the Delta Smelt is doing just fine.
