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.

This picture is very misleading.
Phrase explain how this comes back to liberals
A desalination plant is being constructed in carlsbad and should be ready next year. It will supply all of San Diego. Several more will be built along the coast following this one. With developing research water desalination is becoming more affordable.
Water desalination is more expensive and bad for the environment, but it seems to be the only option left.
Sounds like ya better stop watering Obama’s golf courses.
