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.

Nice that the Oil industry has full, unrestricted access to as much water as they want in California, but the residents and farmers are left to suffer as big oil wastes all the water they want.

Most of what u eat comes from California and well if u think about it , I mean literally use ur brain unless ur a republican or a tea partier then well u just will never understand it , that nonsense of using ocean water is not the smartest answer if u knew how expensive it would be to convert it to usable water
The role of Government is to Facilitate the Wants and Needs of The People, NOT SOCIAL ENGINEERING!
