5. Or Build a Better One

However, if you’re not ready to part with your lawn just yet, you can make a few easy changes to diminish water usage. First, only fertilize your lawn in the fall to lessen the amount of water it needs. Next, aerate well. Those holes in your lawn will encourage deep root growth and increase water absorption. Finally, cut your lawn less often. Longer grass decreases evaporation and needs less water overall.
