Lawn Alternatives

I have a yard that is costing a fortune to water. It is now all lawn. What can I do on the cheap to change it over without taking the lawn itself out? Will clover seed takeover the lawn if I plant it in the lawn? It is in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. I need possible alternatives that are reasonable and it is a large lawn. I am retired and hope to find ways to maintain the yard with things that don’t cost much to do.
