It's important to check whether your watering system is saturating the ground to the depth of the roots. Deeper watering means it's not simply evaporating off the surface and it's reaching where it needs to be.
Run the system for about 20 minutes (longer for weeping, drip or micro-irrigation systems), then probe the soil to see if it's moist. If it is, turn the water off. If it's still dry, leave the system to run longer.
Deeper watering means you'll have to water less frequently.
