Looking For Low Maintenance Ground Cover

Question

my yard backs the river. in the past i have planted rye grass with fescue in the fall. when the rye dies in the spring, some of the fescue lives, especially with overseeding. it all needs to be mowed and watered, a waste of time and resources. since the river covers the yard occasionally, there are flooding challenges to whatever is planted. SUGGESTIONS? thank you very much, melinda
