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.

New Mexico will be the new california….LOL
Fracking uses more water than LA & San Francisco combined! Stop the fracking!!!
At the risk of losing the Delta Smelt California dumps 70% of it’s water every year into the ocean. Though our drought is real enough it is brought on by man.
blame President Bush, not the morons that in charge brown is a warming moron idiot and now he waits to cry wolf
Well yes but the did save that little Smelt fish that counts for something Huh
So make it rain.
The more important question to ask, is how are those Delta Smelt doing?
Jerry Brown your doing a great job……..you $#%&!@*hole.
I’m guessing the Delta Smelt are growing legs, and running thru the woods looking for water somewhere!!! LOL!
We take water for granted, like air. Both are in danger. Pollution and lack of rain. 🙁
