First off, the yucca is not a cactus. It is more closely related to the lily than a cactus. If you live in a desert climate, once it has become established it should survive with little watering. If your area has received little rainfall you may give it a good watering a couple times per month. Be careful, however, to not over water and water very little in winter or the plant may be killed by root rot.
Because a cactus outside in the ground doesn't get all the water you give it, some will get absorbed by other plants.

Water, dissolved nutrients, and byproductsof photosynthesis are stored in the cactus stem. The water and the dissolved nutrients are sent up into the stem from the cactus plant's roots. They're held in the stem until they can be used in the photosynthetic interaction with sunlight. From that interaction are made the energizing carbohydrates, starches and sugars that the cactus needs for such activities as flowering, fruiting, growing, reproducing, and responding to stresses and stressors.
Summer due to amount of water evaporated by the cactus.
