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.

Cali is screwed lol
Someone say California ? Yeh , I don’t care. Let me know when it falls off the map .
Sore of the reservoirs are dumped right into the Pacific to protect a 3″ long FISH!!!!! The power of human stupidity can never be understated!!!
Maybe this will kill off some of the liberal s$#%&!@* that live out there.
scores of billions of gallons of fresh water wasted…..for a bait fish that isn’t even endangered
You want to live there, so pay for water desalinization plants to pull water from the ocean.
Screw the people of california, let them drink salt water. These idiots chose the minnow over their own water source, these morons are the ones that sent the ignorant $#%&!@* pelosi to congress that want to p$#%&!@* bills before reading them. This kind of stupid should be allowed to kill itself off. It’s already tainting the rest of the country with it’s idiocity…
This is decades in the making. People wasted water and laws were p$#%&!@*ed that allowed only California to grow certain crops in areas that were not sustainable for growing them. The very same environmentalists who want to save the planet want to divert ground water from the east, flood water from the Mississippi delta and water from the Great Lakes threatening the eco systems and water tables for the eastern US.
Recycle water for the ‘totally’.
