Biblical Drought Hits California Forcing Some Families To Live In Third-World Type Conditions (Video)
Biblical Drought Hits California Forcing Some Families To Live In Third-World Type Conditions
31 Aug 15
Sustainable alternatives remain years away, and the groundwater supplying nearly 60 percent of the state’s needs in dry years is being used up like never before. Folks, some of the California residents do not even have water for to bathe in! Check this out:
When the wells run dry: California drought forcing some families to live in ‘Third-World-type conditions’
TULARE, Calif. – Looking for water to flush his toilet, Tino Lozano pointed a garden hose at some buckets in the bare dirt of his yard. It’s his daily ritual now in a community built by refugees from Oklahoma’s Dust Bowl. But only a trickle came out; then a drip, then nothing more.
“There it goes,” said Lozano, a 40-year-old disabled vet, masking his desperation with a smile. “That’s how we do it in Okieville now.”
Millions of Californians are being inconvenienced in this fourth year of drought, urged to flush toilets less often, take shorter showers and let lawns turn brown. But it’s dramatically worse in places like Okieville, where wells have gone dry for many of the 100 modest homes that share cracked streets without sidewalks or streetlights in California’s Central Valley.
Farming in Tulare County brought in $8.1 billion in 2014, more than any other county in the nation, according to its agricultural commissioner. Yet 1,252 of its household wells today are dry, more than all other California counties combined.
Lozano, a 40-year-old disabled vet and family man, has worked with his neighbors to rig lines from house to house, sharing water from a well deep enough to hit the emptying aquifer below. County trucks, funded with state drought relief money, fill 2,500-gallon tanks in many yards. Residents also get containers of drinking water, stacking them in bedrooms and living rooms.
These “Third-World-type conditions” are hidden from plain sight, says Andrew Lockman, of Tulare County’s Office of Emergency Services. “It’s not an earthquake or flood where you can drive down the street and see the devastation.”

So the STATE OF CALIFORNIA in it’s infinite wisdom, allows BILLIONS OF GALLONS OF FRESH WATER rivers to flow out to sea to PROTECT A FISH to the detriment of PEOPLE, has no place in your FANTASY!
Well, I have no sympathy for lazy people. Try getting off your lazy butt and actually doing something about it yourself, instead of whining about it. Otherwise bon appetit, you reap what you sow. You via your laziness and political apathy have allowed it to happen. So either do something about it, or live with it. What ever you do, stop you’re silly whining, it’s your own fault.
