Herbs – with different (water) needs – how to manage?

How do you deal with different plants that have different water needs?
I imagine rosemary (dry) and Basil (humid) just to mention extremes…
Is it a problem at all in Hydro culture since as I understood the concept, the water runs through instead of staying in the single compartments for the plants?
i would try with having the tubes that goes down to the plants, if you have columns, angeled to the side more if the plant want less water, and more direct for the ones that does.
or have the less water needing plants in a separate column and regulate the water flow to their need, mixing plants in any hydroponic setup can be tricky, but it looks nice and experimenting is half the pleasure with a window farm:D
hope that this helped.
