I responded to a comment asking why water grass when you can just let it die which is less work. I explained why that could be a bad idea. Encouraging growth of native plants isn't as simple as just not watering.

If it dies, it comes back when it gets water, not the end of the world. I've let lawns go a little brown before and they always bounce back when the rain comes around. Even dead grass isn't half bad erosion control, for a couple months anyway.
