It makes me wonder why, too.
I don't see how three ten minute periods of sprinkling a week will keep a tree alive. That said, I'm going to do my very best. We got rid of a lawn years ago.
I'm going to try to water my three biggest plants with with harvested shower and bath water on the days off, with a drip system that is made by poking one small hole in both the lid and the bottom of jugs and sitting them a little ways out from the trunks. Hot needles - discarded sewing machine needles - do this job perfectly. This is not so pretty but it's effective.
I learned this trick working at the Audubon booth at the County Fair one year before the 1985-91 drought hit.
Fellow Californians, I feel your pain. Now I think I'll just go knit a little on the sweater.
