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.

very bad management
This is what you get when you have a dumb$#%&!@* liberal majority electing dumb$#%&!@* liberal politicians. Kommiefornia deserves what’s they get.
He’s been in power with an unobstructed libtard house and state senate for over 4 years and is only interested in a 70 Billion dollar high speed rail to nowhere. Not to mention he was in power for 8 years in the 70’s. Both times he’s done nothing. Who would you blame ?
Hey Jerry Brown, you may want to read some of the comments here. No ones buying this bull$#%&!@* and you and your fellow liberal morons are to blame.
Desalinization plants, have all the water you want out of the ocean.
DEMS RUNNING THIS STATE FOR YEARS, THEY WILL NOT ALLOW A DAM TO BE BUILD TO STORE WATER, THEY JUST LET 70 % OF WATER RUN OUT TO OCEAN.
MAN MADE
How about policies for the last 100 years that allowed private companies to dictate the resource allocations? Whatever they wanted, whether it was in the best interest of the people or not, they got. And what about those repubs that were in power? They did not address this issue either. This doesn’t have anything to do with any particular party. Politicians learned a long time ago that their true masters were the corporate en$#%&!@*ies. Toss in global warming, and your chickens have come home to roost.
Their own fault. No pun intended.
Give me a break! How can you think a drought in California is a political conspiracy? You need your head examined.
