NASA’s top water scientist says California only has about one year’s worth of water left in storage, and its groundwater – often used as a backup for reservoirs and other reserves – is rapidly depleting. He suggests immediately rationing water.

California just had the driest January since record-keeping began in 1895, with groundwater and snowpack levels at all-time lows, NASA scientist Jay Familglietti wrote in a column for the Los Angeles Times. He said the state has been running out of water since before the current years-long drought and storage levels have been falling since at least 2002, according to NASA satellite data.

“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,” said Familglietti. “In short, we have no paddle to navigate this crisis.”

A team of NASA scientists, using the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites, discovered that the state’s Sacramento and San Joaquin river basins were 11 trillion gallons (41.6 trillion liters) below normal seasonal levels. The researchers say that water levels have steadily dropped since the launch of GRACE in 2002.

Californians use an average of 181 gallons of water each day and a total of around 2.5 trillion gallons a year, according to data from the USGS website

NASA lied about climate change so I think they're wrong about California only have a year of drinking water left. Ever since Obama's NASA Czar redefined NASA's mission making Muslim out reach their number one priority and convincing people carbon taxes are needed for man to survive, I've lost all faith in their so called Obama scientists.

I doubt any NASA scientist would ever claim that California had one year of water supplies. Fortunately for the tabloids, there are enough Justme's on the planet who will propagate sensationalist bullshit stories in the media.

Nicely Done!

:lol:

Why not? NASA scientist said man was causing global warming and our coasts would be under water by now :lol: :lol: :lol:
