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.

They live next to the ocean, the dummies need some brains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of the damn expensive bullet train, perhaps they should invest in some desalination plants. Plenty of water west of them………guess they have zero for thinking caps ……….imo, donna
Id worry more about earthquakes, need to grow veggys in mexico instead of califorina, farms and rich peoples yards did this, and no rain they were a little slow on getting $#%&!@* tkgether on water useage, like 4years. Where im at great lakes are full, obamas probley going to come up with some great idea of pumping water to the west create 5million jobs
Interesting thing about the drought is new homes and apartments are being built daily in Ca
Less swimming pools and ungodly large lawns to water maybe…Hollywood types and rich people.. just sayin
I pray those in California will work together quickly to solve this deadly problem. It is past time to do the right thing for the people and animal life in this state.
So Does Texas. All those brilliant people are moving here.
The larger problem with this is that a large quan$#%&!@*y of our food is grown there so when they can’t irrigate the crops, we will not have access to the food. Better start more urban farms in our cities to feed ourselves.
what about all our weed?
I was born, grew up, and have lived in California all my life, but I’ve had ENOUGH!!! Over-taxed, Cons$#%&!@*utional rights being stripped away, tons of illegals (with their gang-banger at$#%&!@*udes) taking everything, and all the stinking tree-hugging, brain-dead communist ‘liberals’ ruining our agriculture water..well, I just bought a home today OUT of stinking California! Or as Mexican illegals call it “Mexifornia”. I’m through! Going where I can carry my gun and my vote counts. Good-bye, Commies!
