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.

Open up the dam and quit trying to save a little fish! Instead, focus on humans for a change California!
Too many liberals in one spot.
Well to the tree huggers it’s more important to protect a fish that didn’t come from Northern california (just let water drain into pacific to protect it) instead of protecting the people and farmers!!!
Really scarey.
Getting a NFL team in L. A. will fix everything.
