Organic Without Watering

I'm considering going organic next year, but I had a couple questions. I tend to just let my lawn go dormant in the summer months - after a few $300/month water bills, I decided that I could go without the green lawn for a couple months.

I'm assuming that the process wouldn't be much different than a chemical program. I currently only fertilize when the grass is actively growing. Would this be the same for an organic program? Is there any reason to not let an organic lawn go dormant? Would organic be better for someone who lets his lawn go dormant?

I've read the faq and it only states that watering deeply and infrequently is important, but doesn't really mention anything about letting the lawn go dormant.

Also, I did do a soil test last year and the organic material was in the range it should be in (I don't remember off hand what the actual value was).

Thanks for any input!!
