Some quick tips to save water:
- Minimize evaporation, only water when the sun is down
- Only water grass two days per week in the summer
- Avoid runoff - "Cycle and Soak" - two to three short water applications, one hour apart
- Adjust water schedules to match weather conditions
- Encourage deep roots and drought tolerance - water deep but less frequent
