It can actually cause settling issues for your structure. Water causes clay to expand, contract, and lose strength. If you are on sandy soil, it probably won't effect it much. In reality, a sprinkler system causes your supporting soil to deal with 70 plus inches of rain fall a year.

Expansive clays in some areas in/around the DFW metroplex would prefer to not dry out and then resaturate. Regular watering in the vicinity of the structure can help to avoid foundation problems, but a house built in the wrong place with enough drought/rain cycles will eventually (probably) experience problems.
Good luck.
Good luck.
