Have you considered using a lawn alternative that you rarely have to water, is green and never needs mowing?
Chamaemelum nobile (Anthemis nobilis) ‘Treneague’ does best with very low amounts of water. Also, if you sheet mulch with cardboard and a layer of weed free topsoil you can avoid having to weed. The cardboard acts as a pre-emergent by rotting the weeds seeds in the first 2-3 inches of soil under the cardboard. If you keep the weeds from surrounding areas under control (pull before seeding) you can have a relatively effort free lawn experience.
