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.

And you ask me if I give a rats $#%&!@* about what happens to Commifornia. ahaahhahaha Nope, I sure don’t.
Just like we were gonna run out of landfill space if we didn’t pour millions of tax payer dollars into recycling subsidies on a bs study. This is the exact same $#%&!@*. Politicians/media trying to scare people into voting for things they normally wouldn’t, for their own personal benefit.
Open the damn dam….. create panic to protect smelt… nice move.
The wealthy should have a right to large swimming pools and large manicured lawns. That wealthy people do with their money is of little to no conern here. California’s Wacadoo Liberalism has painted itself into corner and is crying for the rest of the union to bail them out.
Tough love. You chose idiot liberal / socialist oriented policies. Now you reap the benifits.
It’s Boxers fault
Tl it also to the EPA and their stupid regulations that helped this.
The people of California are being played for fools.
Could have taken all our snow an put it there to melt we wouldn’t even miss it
