If you go to www.sare.org you can view the Managing Cover Crops booklet online. There is a nice chart and info sections on various cover crops/green manures. Looks like subterranean clovers might be your best bet. There is one type listed -- T. calcycinum -- that only needs 12 inches/yr of water. Good luck.
