OT: What's the matter with having a brown lawn? They always come back when the rains start again. Grass is adapted to dormancy during dry periods and then quick revival by hundreds of millions of years of evolution.

I don't know where you live, but if it's anywhere that relies on summer runoff from montane snow pack and glaciers, get ready for watering restrictions that require you to have a brown lawn every summer. At current rates, that summer runoff will be gone within a decade or two, but the effects will be hitting hard within a few years, and methinks the needs of humans (and oilsands processing) will trump your desire for a green lawn.
