Grass doesn't die when it turns brown. It goes into a dorment state
responding to the lack of moisture. I never water our lawn and it does turn
brown every dry summer. The interesting part is that  my neighbors who
constantly water their lawns have asked "why does your lawn look so good".
Just think of this as part of a natural cycle. Why waste the water
especially if there is a drought?
