That's what buckets are for. Your point, however, about the lack of planning that went into these medians is right on target. It shouldn't be that hard to follow up new plantings with regular watering to help ensure their survival.
The city knows where they are and when they went in and they have water tank trucks to deliver water far more efficiently than any of us could do with hoses or buckets. But even if there are warranties, I'm pretty sure not watering the trees regularly enough would void them.
