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.

Are you forgetting the ocean is full of radiation from Japan’s leaking reactor?
Better start building more distilleries.
The Arab nations have been doing it for years
Doing that actually hurts our oceans and causes more problems to occur. desalinization is not the cure we need to start regulating it in third world countries as well some don’t have a choice but most are doing it for convenience. It’s what’s causing melting in the polar ice caps
Send a hundred tankers to extract water from Texas and kill two birds with one stone
I hope.you was kidding! They little e right by the ocean.
How is that going to help?
If the ocean were that contaminated by radiation the beaches would be closed and they’re not.
You are literally an idiot. are you implying Texas has done the same?
Don’t forget about 15 million illegal aliens with drivers licenses that use oh 80 to 100 gallons per everyday! Californians have no one to blame but themselves. Way to continue to encourage BAD BEHAVIOR!
