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.

Since they don;t need that bridge, can i have it?
Quit filling pools.
It’s Barack Hussein Obama’s fault
There should be more water now due to Global Warming and the icebergs melting, right?
perhaps they should stop all the bottling and shipping of water out of state..in that state..ya think??
Ask why they continued to let water run out of their reservoirs in order to help smelt thrive. Liberals put a tiny fish ahead of all humans, agriculture, stock and everything else. Liberals left to their idiocracies will be the end of us, they were the end of Detroit.
It’s called desalination and it is cost prohibitive at this time.
Well, tell Jerry Brown Nose Brown to stop diverting northern CA water directly into the Pacific ocean to save a non-native 2 inch bait fish…it’s always raining in far northern ca!
Did you really just tell everyone they were uneducated? Wow, how omniscient you must think you are.
As you fail to even follow up on what I said ,but just jump to that I am wrong, but much easier to be in denial than to do some research.
