thanks. I decide to do the following things first. 1) tree pruning. so that tree will not absorb up all the water in the lawn. 2) spraying water at midnight instead of morning. This will avoid the vaporating. 3) reduce the frequency of mowing the lawn. 4) check and replace all spray heads.

Whatever you do, don't prune the tree. Tree root and grass root are at drastically different depth, so tree root does not absorb water that grass would be absorbing. The tree's shade is the only thing helping lower evaporation right now. Pruning it would hurt your lawn, and probably hurts your tree as well in this weather. Definitely reduce mowing though. if your grass is still growing quickly in a drought, you have watered too much. I would suggest you just reduce the frequency you water the lawn. That would both save you water and keep the grass from growing too quickly.
