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.

Use one of the desalination plants and quit hyping this like it’s the end of the world. With all that ocean at Californians door this is nothing but political hype. The state has the resources with desalination plants there that this shouldn’t even be an issue, except politically.
Sheila, careful, they’ll have you and I paying for it through government grants that’ll never get paid back. Perhaps the 50 billion going to Iran would come in handy.
Don’t they already Klaus? Whether we live there or not, the bailouts come from all American’s. 🙁 As does our ‘generosity’ to all foreign countries. We’d be in good shape if we only took care of our own over others.
