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.

Yep. That and unchecked population growth and banking on agriculture in a arid and desert climate.
The water systems we already have never filled, second year running.
Way too many people on this planet!!!!
Yeah, and …?
I don’t care …
Everyone is talking about California. Texas is having the same problem. Our reservoir is at 19% and still dropping.
But they are not moving out. When the last drip stops, look out, all chaos will breakout!
is it true that they’re sending water down to Mexico???
Due to Liberal Policy maker’s in California- yes, LIBERAL LEADER’S have known about this (looming) problem for years. I guess they just thought it was going to rain (did nothing) & it (the problem) would go away…
california caused let them fiure it out and fix it
