Turf Irrigation ? How To Save Water And Your Lawn During Drought Years
In principle, the best way to save water in dry climate gardens is to reduce the area of grass. Here is a way of saving water in drought years, without killing-off the lawn.

These properties can be exploited to reduce water consumption in normal years, and to minimize it during drought years.
