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.

Looks like thru better start praying to The Lord Jesus.

Haha, ok? Did they happen to see the Pacific Ocean to the west there?
I got a simple solution for all the liberal Californians. move where the water is, get in your car drive about 600 miles west, problem solved!
Soooo what is up stream blocking it?
I always said idk how anyone lives in that horrible place
Hrmmmm a drought in the desert… Who would have thought….
Let me guess this is a “global warming” cause right? Maybe if the state of California didn’t have so many regulations as to who waters what and “saving certain species” it’s just a whole lie, they have water rationing thanks to cap n trade
Get 1 drop of water from each Mexicans back and that alone will bring the water table back up.
California has been turning down the idea of building more reservoirs for years, due to environmental hogwash! Here in Georgia there are no natural lakes, this is how we manage. California, is a desert, catch some water or get to where you can find water!
