Another, simpler method that occurred to me that's even more diabolical is to put a very fine screen about 1 inch under the water. If the eggs sink when they first hit the water, they would go down to the bottom and hatch, then be unable to get back to the surface for air! It would mean a steadily increasing charnel house of bloated, rotting dead mosquito baby bodies, but I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I might just add a manual valve for draining the water instead.
