Be water wise . Water only when needed. Frequency depends on the type of plants and soil conditions. Water only as rapidly as the soil can absorb the water. Water root areas of your plants to establish hardiness.
Shallow roots are less likely to withstand drought condition.
Install a trickle or drip irrigation system for a slow, steady supply of water to the plant roots. Water the lawn in the evening when evaporation is less likely to occur. Avoid watering during the heat of the day or when windy. Use native plants when landscaping your lawn. Generally, native plants require less care and water than other ornamental varieties.
