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.

Screw Arizona and New Mexico they can get there own water. Only thing they give us is illegals. Not a fair trade! Water for garbage.
Valerie, this is what happens when liberals take over the goverment.
Drinking water should have been more important then swimming pools everywhere to late now
Israel did, they turned a desert into an Oasis, they could show Cal. how if ISIS dosen’t wipe them out first and obama would let them.
They will blame the R’s.
And……… they are just now worrying, really?
Agreed. The EPA has prevented dams and resevoirs from being built for more than 30 years now. They can filter ocean water, but, it will take several years to build those. Too bad they were more concerned about a fish than the human population.
Cali, is right next to a unlimited supply of water, no worries .
let Nancey Pelosi take a bath in DIRT!
Good maybe that pos state will break off and float away and take all the dumb $#%&!@*es with it
