How long should I water for?
Water the lawn thoroughly to stimulate deep roof growth. This can be done by using your sprinkler system sprinkler hose attachment or even just hand watering for 45 minutes to one hour per zone every week. A deep consistent soak will provide enough moisture into the soil, allowing you to go several days before needing to water again.

Is watering my lawn the only way to keep my lawn healthy?
According to OKSTATE.EDU Lawn Watering tips :
• Know your soil type. Sandy soils need lighter, more frequent watering but clayey soils need heavier, less frequent watering. Applying water faster than it can soak into the soil will cause water (and your money) to run off the lawn!
• Aerate your lawn regularly. This improves water movement through the soil and aides in root development.
• Do not mow your lawn too short. Grass acts as a natural mulch, retaining soil moisture and shading out weeds. As a rule of thumb, mow bermudagrass and zoysiagrass at 2-3 inches and buffalograss and tall fescue at 3-4 inches.
• Leave grass clippings on lawn.
The list may long, but that is why the lawn professionals are there to help you as OK state your Bermuda grass must be mowed no shorter than 2 inches. It is a best practice to mow after an application or two days before and water before if possible. Did you know that leaving clippings on your lawn is actually beneficial? Leaving the clippings means it will leave behind the bermuda seeds to help fill in any spots naturally or organically as many say.
