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.

Vegas is next. Went to hoover dam in 04 and it’s half the depth now.
Ohio will sell you some lake water.
Horrible idea
This fool just compared water to gasoline lol. The stupidity on the internet is unimaginable.
Emerson Herndon, I think you may be right .it was foolish of me to compare water to gasoline! But can you explain why it’s a horrible idea?
The reason I used that comparison .when we run out of something, we go get some more .we restock our supply .but when the farmers in California run low or run out of water they cant just go get more .but a Water pipeline would help with that .Or maybe you have a better solution .
It’s been raining in Texas for months, we should set up a pipeline that will run water to Cali.
They chose to live in a desert….
^ obvious someone doesn’t know the percentage of water that’s allocated to agriculture
They’re done!!! And the Pacific Ocean is dead! They better get out of there!!!
