To maintain a green lawn it will need ¾ to 1 inch of water per week.

Use an automatic water system to ensure a more even watering, you want to avoid flooding certain areas of your lawn or causing other areas to not be watered at all.
Water early in the day when the temperature is cool and the grass is already wet with dew; or in the late afternoon or early evening. Doing this will help to prevent a lot evaporation.
Let your grass grow a little taller. Taller grass will give it more protection, maintain moisture, and allow for deeper root growth.
