Sandy soil increases the effects of drought by draining water rapidly, which makes it more difficult for lawn grass to survive without regular irrigation. Here are some suggestions for grasses that are better suited to these conditions.
Heart shape increases functionality. The pointed end edges and cuts into sod.
The ‘V' groove at the top of the heart is used to collar and tug weeds.
The flat, pointed disk slides under sod and cuts through grass roots.
As altitude increases, temperatures decrease.

Fertile soil increases yield but isn't required to grow a reasonable crop. Amaranth thrives in poor soils, and here in Iowa, summer rains usually bring more than adequate moisture. In rich soils, plants may grow larger and need staking.
Moisture loss increases with wind speed. It does exactly the same to plants. The trichome hairs help to baffle the air at the leaf surface so it slows down. Even a minor slowing can have a significant effect on reducing moisture loss through stomata.

As garden acreage increases, natural areas are not only growing smaller, but also more isolated from each other. Habitat fragmentation threatens genetic diversity, another basic level of the diversity of life.

Avoid all weed killers (herbicides) because most can also lessen the vigor of grass roots, the last thing you want to do prior to or during a drought.
As the size of the garden increases, so should the size of your compost facility. For a medium to large garden area, you can construct a permanent compost bin fairly easily, and rather cheaply if you have even basic woodworking skills. .
The quality and durability of the hose increases with the quality of the wall materials, the thickness of the wall tubing and the closeness of the braiding. The process begins with the melting of PVC granules which form the PVC hose.
Core aeration increases contact between seeds and soil, improving germination and helping establish the new grass more quickly.

Cut your lawn when the grass is dry. Wet grass is difficult to cut evenly, dulls blades, and tends to form clumps.
Clean the mower deck periodically.

Monitoring: Mite populations should be monitored closely and maintained at less than six to eight per leaf in orchards where Alternaria blotch has been a problem because mite stress increases disease severity.
When the concentration of hydrogen ions increases, acidity increases, and when the concentration of hydrogen ions decreases, alkalinity goes up. Scientists measure pH on a logarithmic scale that ranges from 0.0 (most acid) to 14.
This increases the drought tolerance of the lawn. Cylinder mowers (also called Reel mowers) can also be used on the high setting. Tall Fescues have few pest problems and are considered low mainenance compared to running lawns.
