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.

I SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING. NO WATER, NO CROPS, JACK UP THE PRICE, IMPORT FOOD. MAKE CHINA AND OTHER COUNTRIES RICHER, TURN AMERICA INTO A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. GET READY IT’S COMING, NOT ONLY THIS BUT THE GUB’MINT WILL CREATE OTHER DISASTERS, AND CHAOS TILL THEY HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF YOU
Maybe the Crybaby leftys can run the delta smelt for Governor
Guess they will have to move!
That’s California for you.
Just spend part of the $90 billion for high speed rail on water infrastructure. Seems like a much better use of the funding. Jerry Brown is an $#%&!@*.
THERE ARE WAYS TO GET WATER FROM AIR
but they are protecting the smelt, right?
Rain dance people rain dance
Cali-where?
Keep protecting that sardine.
