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.

What you don’t realize is that nor cal is not a desert and has tons of resivoirs, it gets shipped down south for them to waste.
Stop making babies, California should be taxed for over populating the region. To may people in this world & we will eventually make our species extinct.
That is terrible no water
Too bad they can’t pump all the Texas flood water there
They done it to themselves! The people out there think they have unlimited supplies to everything!
There’s a big hole of water to the west!!! DUH! IT SHOULDN’T BE TO HARD TO FIND…IT RUNS THE ENTIRE COAST! And yes I know it is sal$#%&!@*er. But there’s your backup plan MORONS!!!!!
Who cares it’s California
There is a purification process to use ocean water. Scare tatics
Desalination is the answer. Find a way to do it cheaply and m$#%&!@*ively.
What would expect from the land of fruits and nuts. No back up plan? Great public officials they elect out there.
