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.

why aren’t there fast-track industries putting together “home purification” systems or ‘kits’ for small areas of neighborhoods (I know the Baptist Church men do this in disaster relief areas) to temporarily get past this emergency. (like generators for power grid loss) NASA scientist get ta steppin’ !! on how to utilize ocean water.
Damn 50%! And I thought we has a bunch of fresh H2O in the Great Lakes region at about 20%
