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.

Stop protecting the tiny fish and use that water you are paying for then flooding it into the ocean on people and agriculture. Since libs took over Cali the economy went from flourishing to being in the tubes.
There is a big ocean off the coast. Better start building desalinization plants.

You are correct, I live in California and it is communist. The taxes here are out of control. Once I retire, I will be leaving this state.

You can’t grow cities with limited resources. Is this then a “self inflicted” problem. Water was an issue in the 1920’s, after all.

Problem solved.
Send millions of illegal aliens home. It would help.
When half the population moves out things will be okay.
Let them buy water
