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.

Not a chance in hell! They should stop sending water to Vegas and dumping million of gallons of fresh water into the Pacific.
Stay out of Texas, we don’t want your rubbish.
You win for best comment!
My water bill is $150 monthly
Too bad they dump their drinking water into the Pacific.
I’m from California honey no need to get all pissy
Not California with all those government regulations. Looks like Washington state will have to bail them California whiners out again. We already sell them our electricity and our rates go up. Now we’re going to sell them water.
Keep denying the science, idiots.
That is pretty high for Texas.. last I heard Californians pay some of the lowest water Bills.
