President Obama's Laundry List to Help California Drought
Quote:
$100 million in livestock disaster assistance. This program, part of the 2014 Farm Bill, will be fast-tracked.
$15 million in targeted conservation assistance for the most extreme and exceptional drought areas - $5 million in additional assistance to California and $10 million for drought-impacted areas in Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado and New Mexico. It will helps farmers and ranchers implement conservation practices that conserve scarce water resources, reduce wind erosion on drought-impacted fields and improve livestock access to water.
$5 million in targeted Emergency Watershed Protection Program assistance to the most drought impacted areas of California to protect vulnerable soils. This funding will help drought-ravaged communities and private landowners address watershed impairments, such as stabilizing stream banks and replanting upland sites
stripped of vegetation.
$60 million for food banks in California to help families that may be economically impacted by the drought through the the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP).
600 summer meal sites in California's drought stricken areas.
$3 million in Emergency Water Assistance Grants for rural communities experiencing water shortages. The money will help rural communities that are experiencing a significant decline in the quality or quantity of drinking water due to the drought obtain or maintain water sources of sufficient quantity and quality. California state health officials have identified 17 small community water districts in 10 counties that could run out of water in 60-120 days.
Reduce Federal facilities' water usage: Federal facilities in California must immediately curb water use, building on efforts underway across the country to cut water use 26%.

You would think he would just use HAARP to make it rain. See, this is why Obama hates freedom.
