Changing Weather here is DROUGHT

My students started planting too (Birmingham, AL), and then we got hit with
this serious drought.  The Birmingham Water Works is running out of water.
Let's see, I think we have 51 days left, and no plan for what happens when
we do run out.  There are fines and threatened imprisonment for those who
violate the ban on watering outdoors.  I have a moral dilemma here: obey the
laws of the community, or save the children's plants.  I guess losing
everything to the drought is a real lesson in life!  It is hard though,
because the neighboring community (about 5 miles away) has water - they just
built a new water treatment plant and their water comes from a different source.

Soooo, anybody have any ideas about how to save the seedlings?  Would left
over milk work?  The kids throw away a lot of milk every day.  Or would it
just smell bad and attract undesirable creatures?  I doubt they would save
dishwashing water for me, for sanitary reasons, but I will check.  Need
ideas . . .
