The Scariest California Drought Map Yet
Across California, reservoirs are running dry as the drought continues to weigh dramatically on many parts of the economy. The following map, showing the dismally low levels of reservoirs in all their horrible glory could be the scariest drought map yet...

It's true look at deal they made for SoCal to build American Canal to get Northern water! And the deal to get more from LA Met Water. and STILL no moritorm on housing permits!
Maybe Mr. Musk can figure out a way to reverse the flow of water from the other side of the continental divide.
>>>they will siphon off water from the Great Lakes
Sorry, but this post is idiotic.
Does Mexico have any water?
<I drink your milkshake.>
We have a deselination plant here in Melbourne Australia you guys in California can use!!!
Here in Carlsbad, CA 92008 desal plant is under const. Problem is no talk of housing permit moritorium! But State legis trying to govern ground water extraction, water table close to not coming back they are drilling wells 500ft in places/Central Valley I think.
Only the goddamn eco watermelons want permit moritoriums because they hate the hard-working developers who made this goddamn country what it is today. There's no shortage of water! I can flush the goddamn toilet anytime I want and the water keeps coming out, but you never hear THAT from the goddamn liberal media!
Soon as Moonbeam spends a half trillion bucks on desalination, it'll rain like hell.
Sounds flaky...
Yellen is going to buy water futures to solve this problem.
I'm former USAF and "We" will own the weather by 2025.
According to NWO.
Good mini-doc here from The History Channel, of all places.
The Military's Mystery Machine - Haarp Weather ."Actually heating up the atmosphere..." (quote from video)
It seems "We" are already doing a pretty good job in <2015 alexcojones.
A recent news blurb (I forget where) has it that HAARP will not shut down as planned after all. The University of Alaska has "requested" to keep it running.
"Water , water everywhere , nor a drop to drink"
An ocean of water , millions of people , venture capital.
The tech is available.

"One drought is a misfortune. Two droughts is sheer carelessness"
Here in Canada, with all our lakes and rivers, I'm wondering when the US 'advisory' boots on the ground will appear?

Eventually. We'll invaded to protect you from that socialist government that has been oppressing your people for generations now.
You need some freedom-n-democracy up there.
plus ya'll ain't forced to buy insurance. We can fix that.
Keep on diverting rivers into the oil sands projects and you'll be suffering from a shortage soon enough.
The Cayman Islands are 100% reverse osmosis and it's expensive. That will be CA's future if this continues.
all those rich tax dodgers could fork over a pool of $$ to build a desal plant, the .1% don't give a chit
That chart makes me thirsty.
They need a new tax and some mexicans to solve that problem.
Meanwhile front range Colorado is green as Kentucky--it's usually all dry by mid-July.
Can the Joads go home now?
They's still nuthin' for hard scrabble folks like them back in Oklahoma...
Funny. I'm re-reading that one again just now. First read it when I was in 5th grade, and it never gets old. DAMN that man could write!!!
Don't feel sorry for them, there is no drought, as there is no spoon...
how do you say scarry in illegal spanish......
I'm wondering if you know how to spell it in "legal english"
"English" is always capitalized. My, is this National Dumb Day?
Keeping in line with "spanish" as was written above and the surrounding quotation marks should've been a hint to even the most obtuse observer.
worry not, one of my sheep naigbor said it will rain sooner or later!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????
If you're in the mood to watch a really depressing movie, I suggest this flick
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1307068/
Can't think of a better equalizer than a 70 square mile asteroid crashing on this planet. Nothing really matters after that one and whatever happened up until that point is also a complete wipeout.
Awe, man,,,now they're gonna make us wear helmets when we go outdoors.
If you are ever in the mood to watch something truly amazing, watch "Iron Sky". Its about Helium3.
Remarkable, some of the mean spirited and ignorant comments that come out of the woodwork when such stories are printed.
Comment B:
This is going to be an interesting winter for the West Coast if you happen to buy into the notion that chem trails (which reportedly lace the atmosphere with conductive particles) and HAARP waves (which reportedly charge those particles to effect water molecule size to prevent rain and which create high pressure zones), come face to face with El Nino (which has already manifested in warmer waters moving northward).
Whose gonna win that tug-of-war?
This space pleb ain't putting any money on The Child.
Once stayed in a camp with limited running water. Sign at the toilet read:
If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down.
Does this qualify as a drought?
She is frequently shown with her husband underfoot. Thank you for the insight into understanding the etymology of Kalifornia.

Governor Moombean says, " Stay thirsty my friends".
I refer you to the quote a few comments above you:
"If it's Brown, flush it down."
"Let them drink cake".
Barry's asleep at the wheel again - call him up and tell him in no uncertain terms that you need water for the golf courses so he needs to get on the stick and his his boys get out their 3-D printer to make a couple de-salination plants - PRONTO!!!
I'm not even going to waste my time & attempt to go through these "lakes" & reservoirs to confirm my suspicion.
I'm saying the great majority are manmade, meaning, the place was never meant to support the population or the agriculture California has.
#CentralPlanningFail
Excellent point that I have never seen adressed before.
And you probably never will, agendas, dontcha know...lol.
You can tell a lot about an area by just looking at the natural flora & fauna native to the area ;-)
But who's to say what's meant to be, and by whom? "If God had meant us to fly, he would have given us wings."
Or inspire the Wright Brothers to imagine and manufacture a device that would lead to manned flight. God would not have given us wings as it would have hindered our ability to wipe our asses effectively. There were a lot of thoughts put into the functioning and design of the human body. Surely you can understand why we don't have hooks for hands for a variety of reasons.

I wouldn't worry until I saw the golf courses being neglected. That would be the "whites of their eyes" moment in my opinion. As long as they are being watered and maintained then it can't be as bad as all that.
#Bringbackourwater
Actually, given the time of year I expected the numbers might be worse.
As far as the residents go, desal would solve all problems.
As far as agriculture goes, there is a problem with no immediate solutions.
Unless we build a dome over the entire Central Valley, but judging from that tv show that might cause other problems.
I heard that in order to help the Delta Smelt (an insignificant baitfish, supposedly "endangered") the state of CA has allowed water that sould be retained in reservoirs to flow down rivers to the ocean. How much water?
800,000 "acre feet"-an acre is 43,560 sq. ft. times one foot deep, or 43,560 cubic feet x 800,000.
That's one hell of a lot of water-that they don't have now.
1 acre foot = water for 2 families for a year
They also dumped over 400K acre feet of water into the Southern Desert to see if it still runs downhill (it did).
AZ did it too http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/03/140322-colorado-river-de...
.... Remind me to write that down. Stocks run uphill no matter what, water runs downhill no mater what, harmony at last.
And why exactly aren't there desalinization plants littered throughout the landscape instead of windmills and bird frying mirrors?
It's California - they can always resort to drinking bongwater.
"Target California" is pure genius. Less an historic land grab than 'Plausible Deniability Insurance Cover' for G.E. when Fukushima makes it's presence felt.
Bossman: "Did you check the radiation monitors today in Santa Monica Chadwick?"
Chadwick: "No Bossman. Nobody lives there anymore. Mother nature fucked us over and there's no water."
Bossman: "Screw water Chadwick... There's a shit-load of oil in that stinking bay! L.A.'s one big fucking tarpit!"
Chadwick: "Fuckin' A Boss! Are you gonna finish that Danish cream sandwich?"
(Our 'boys' all speak the same language.)
The STATE of California sucks. The actual land mass that I was born in kicks ass. The liberal/communist douche bags that have taken over the local government have destroyed it. I am looking forward to the collapse to reclaim some of my birth land once the leeches die.
The glass is more than half empty, mostly. Peak Thirst to follow.
They won't die. They're made out of plastic.
bearish swimming pool repair persons. I wonder how long the authority's would take to evacuate the place where water was not accessible? then where to?
Does this mean we can't get any more salmonella laced spinach?
The illegals will be happy to relocate and take a steaming dump in the middle of whatever you were planning on eating...
What I find more disturbing than the drought are the dismal comments made at the very beginning. I don't know if people are trying to be smart or witty or whether we are truly scraping the bottom of the genetic barrel.
Whatever the shortcomings of California and some of its people, we need to realise that a drought is only ever one season away from us. And if it's not drought, it could be flooding, earthquake or even Ebola.
Cry me a river then.
Church and State are redundant. The State is religion
I live in Nor Cal, my well is 10' deep, still have water.
California, this may sound callous, but if you could please film yourselves dying of thirst I would appreciate it. The entertainment value would be unmatched and literally priceless.
I hope it pours there. Days on end. It'll keep the morons in CA. Too dry and they'll move to where we live.
Looks like they will need to start spraying fluoride in the air if this keeps up...
Long term solution: Tear down the dams, restore the primeval forest, revitalize estuaries and wetlands, plant native vegetation, stop eating meat, don't drive, don't plow, quit using pesticides and herbicides, use solar, wind & hydrogen. Build an economic system based on a sustainable ecological relationship with mother earth.
There is no profit, there is no capitalism, because in a sustainable system, the profits are returned to build ecological capital. Our health, and our lands health are our only true wealth. How we use our land to live and grow on, determines whether we prosper or wither. The availablility of water depends on our success at living within the bounds of a sustainable system. It's not a lack of technology, or political will, but a refusal to face the limits of our consumption that impede us from creating a society that has a future worth living in.
I need a drink..
Hindsite says this problem could have been solved years ago. Once again our all knowing government fucks us over.
Jerry Brown for President!
Yep, I live about 45 miles north of San Francisco, and my water bill came the other day. It stated that we are now under mandatory water rationing, 20%. Yeah, I guess we're in a draught alright!
You can thank the ALS ice bucket challenge
It's a judgment from God, no doubt about it. Just one of many on our deteriorating nation. One thing I know for sure is that God is not in favor of the New World Order. It is just a second tower of Babel and will meet the same fate the first one did.
"Babble" indeed....
Religion is cancer
That said, I will shed not a tear for Californians and their drought. That liberal state deserves it.
"It's a judgment from God,"
Well then I must be doing okay! We got 7+ more inches of rain this "growing season" (Sept 1 - Aug 31) than we did last year. Last 2 years were kinda dry. And lately we've been joking about it being "monsoon season." The other day I was working on the riding lawnmower outside - and it started raining - and I just ignored the rain and kept on working. (This year the leaves are turning yellow and dropping waaaay early, and the bees are really humping to get all the honey they can get.... gonna get cold soon.)
Its amazing to me that in the age of technology when we can have biometric identification, create cars that drive themselves, send people into space to live for 3 years on the ISS, genetically clone organisms that we have no method for taking the that great big pool called the pacific ocean, desallinate the water and pipe it into the drought-stricken areas in California! OH THE HUMANITY!

The lines are way off. Totally don't represent the accompanying percentage points. Eg. "Trinity Lake" - the 39% line is drawn at about 80%, and the 28% line at about where it should be. The rest are all just as bad.
Kinda hard to take it seriously when it's so terribly presented.
San Joaquin Aquifer is down about 10% since the above average snowpack year of 2011 when snowpack was 175% of normal. CA Aquifers in other places have seen little drop.
This is not reflected in the chart.
