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.

In the 1930s the Midwest had the dust bowl. After the damage to the ecology and agriculture what did those people do?… They moved!

I wonder how much water they use to keep all those golf courses green?
Backup plan : wait for it to rain.
They let rain water drain into the ocean. What a California thing to do
I think their backup plan is to move to Colorado
