I'd like to see an expansion of all Water Conservation Programs in
California as an early action to reduce GHG's.  Saving water
through conservation has the dual benefit of saving significant
amounts of energy and results in significant reduction in GHG's. 
There are several water conservation actions that could be pursued
statewide that would result in huge savings - actions like super
efficient toilets, low flow showerheads, efficient washing
machines, changes in landscaping all can make a significant
difference and I am surprised to not see them addressed here.  I
recommend special attention be payed to any incentive programs to
ensure that incentives also benefit low income communities not
just rich folks.    

The Pacific Institute and the Santa Clara Valley Water District
have looked at this and how to quantify energy and GHG savings
from water conservation. See the Watts to Water report by the
Santa Clara Valley Water District here -
