You are the most aggravating person on this earth.  Bermuda grass is a lawn, 
not a pasture grass.  If you want to talk lawn grasses, then plant buffalo 
grass or Blue Grama which only need a 1/4" of water a week.  Or sheep fescue 
which only needs to be watered monthly and in drought conditions goes 
dormant and will pop right back to your obsession, green, with a summer 
shower!
