Jeff,

My big kid has just set up plastic water barrels in his back yard.  He asked me about spigots, but by the time I got over there he had fitted "Gardenia" hose fitting that shut off the drain until you plug in a hose.  I had to give him full marks for that. 

A bunch of barrels connected together would work just as well in a basement and fix the evaporation problem.
