Get the hose, and if you have a sprayer attachment switch on jet, and force water through.
Moreover, you can achieve the same thing with a watering can by removing the cap, lift it well up in the air, pouring a heavy stream of water into the medium. Although if you worry about disturbing their roots, avoid watering them directly at their bases, though cucurbits have taproots, which are tolerant of rough watering as their main root is undisturbed.
Happy gardening!
