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.

But the Delta Smelt is going to survive.
So many there were quick to get God out of government school and regular life. Maybe they should invite him back and pray that he blesses them with rain.
Convert sea water to freshwater
Dam
Stop fracking and presto! There’s plenty of water. Go figure.
Yes there is a solution
It was in the original superman movie.
1 nuke at the faultline and it all goes sliding into the sea….
$#%&!@* California! Bunch of retards living a fantasy in the desert. If you don’t like my American honesty then you are a yellow belly!
Why should we dumb hillbillys care?
Wrong…..Build a dam and you save 260 billion gallons. California sends 40% of our water right back to the ocean. We don’t have a water problem, we have a water management problem.
Actually, it may not. http://www.wsj.com/articles/forget-the-missing-rainfall-california-wheres-the-delta-smelt-1430085510#livefyre-comment
