watering watermelons

Have had a brutal 2 weeks of 90+ to 98 Degree heat with H.I. 110+ here in Northern Mississippi.
Have been watering every other day the hill/roots. I used the raised bed
method.
The vines/leaves are closing up/drying. Melons are hanging on so far.

Do I need to water the row itself? Have the drip hose to do this. Or, just keep watering the hill or roots?

Thanks in advance.
