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.

We knew this was coming, we did nothing. Floods in ten years. We wont be ready.
Why don’t they build desalinization plants like the Saudis did/ Or does that make too much sense for Cal?
they need to build a plant to turn salt water into drinking water. ASAP
Desalinization, seems logical to me…
can anyone say fracking?
Isn’t California next to an Ocean….just saying
