Newly released images created from NASA satellite data illustrate the staggering effect the California drought has had on groundwater supply in the state. As Mashable's Patrick Kulp explains, the images show the amount of water lost over the past 12 years, with different colors indicating severity over time. “Nobody has any idea how disastrous it’s going to be,” Mike Wade of California Farm Water Coalition told the Associated Press, as RT reports a growing number of communities in central and northern California could end up without water in 60 days due to the Golden state’s prolonged drought. While California is bearing the brunt, experts note "We're seeing it happening all over the world, in most of the major aquifers in the arid and semi-arid parts of the world."
California is currently experiencing the third year of one of the most severe short term droughts ever recorded. Data from U.S. Drought Monitor shows that as of Sept. 30, 82% of the state is facing extreme or exceptional drought conditions.

Ship all the illegals back and boot out all the visa overstayers. Less pull on the water supply.
I wonder what would happen to California’s near open-border policy if there was suddenly no water for everyone?
California knew this was coming.
Could have put desal plants in long ago.
Population explosion did not help. either.

The Limousine Liberals will have water. They’ll even share some with their servants. The rest of you.....get off their beaches and highways.
Nuclear powered desalinization plants.
It would to be too much to hope that a significant fraction of the population moves back to Mexico.
“Nobody Has Any Idea How Disastrous It’s Going To Be” Warns California Water Expert
But they know how the climate is going to change?
Get those guys to tells us how bad it’s going to be.
I’d think we’d see a lot of self-deportation and unfortunately a ton of these people will travel to the Pacific Northwest.....screaming “feed me...feed me”.
UGH!
Brown continues to pursue a 58 billion train when that money could easily be used for desalinization or other water storage, conservation and transportation projects.
And he’s the same idiot who wants the entire Mexican population to “move to” California (the euphemism for illegal immigration).
But of course the “Republicans” in California nominate Neel Nobody because he’s got brown skin and brown eyes, so they can claim they’re diverse!
He of course will go down with the honor of being the gubernatorial candidate defeated by the widest margin in California history.
This is what they WANTED...they legislated this disaster to save the environment. Liberals have a short term memory problem!
GOD’s judgement on California?
And the lib environmentalists also get to keep their precious Delta Smelt instead of directing the water to needed farms.
On the other hand, the Delta Smelt is doing just fine.
Supposedly, the environmentalists closed off water supply to one of the growing regions of California to save some fish or other from extinction, resulting in millions of gallons of water running off into the ocean. (?)
IMHO
Comrades! All Californos must sacrifice for the greater good. Water and Malibu beach access is fine and good.
But let us not bicker and argue about comrades who are somewhat more equal than others.
Who says that Americans need to consume less to stave off ecological disaster, but spends $22,000 a year to water their lawn?
a. Hillary Clinton
b. Barbra Streisand
c. Rob Reiner
Answer: B. Barbra Streisand. The singer, who says that cutting back is the only way to protect the environment, lives alone with her husband on a compound with five homes and a 12,000 square foot air conditioned barn.
This is a cycle.
Rinse, repeat...
Whatever. ..
