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.

Here is a Novel Idea. If your State is in a Drought. Stop dumping your fresh water in the Ocean… Problem Solved.
So they live by the oven and yet they have a water drought lol why don’t you just blame it on their liberal policies intead of $#%&!@*ing about global warming
Sounds like there’s going to be a lot of thirsty democrats
Deport all the illegals and I bet there would be enough water for the citizens.
May 7, 2015 NASA controls more than a dozen satellites and spacecraft, monitoring everything from melting ice to water storage to rain and snow. To the agency’s scientists and supporters, these programs are essential to understanding the planet and the changing climate, and part of its core mission.
But to congressional Republicans, they are just another example of an administration wasting money on climate-change research, zapping funds away from what NASA should be doing: blasting into and exploring space.
They want to blame it on climate change. There have been droughts since the beginning of time. The weather is always changing and will continue to change. I guess the dinosaurs caused the ice age that destroyed them. They should have listened to the liberals.
Hmmm…. What is next to California in this picture??? Looks like…. Ohhhh, an OCEAN! He rest of the world uses desalination…. But not the environmentally conscious Californians…. Weird! Now they are finally “Considering” the idea…. Oh good idea to have a back up plan California!
