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.

Instead building pipelines for oil, build connecting water lines across the U.S., no problem with leaks.

That’s salt water not freah water; it would be to expensive to get the salt out.
I know , its just a joke !!
Because they consider salt water pollution, insane people
Come take the floods away from Texas lol
Again, with as far technology has advanced why can’t they just desalinate the ocean water? They’d have plenty of water and they’d also have another money making resource, the sea salt, they can sell it and there is a market for it.
