An impervious elongated plate is fastened to a building, near the edge of the rooftop. The plate forms a rebound surface with an uninterrupted slope extending downwardly away from the building. Rainwater falling over the edge of the rooftop, strikes the surface, rebounds, and is dispersed along an extended area at ground level, away from the building. The plate may be flexible and resilient, with a memory so that the plate deflects downwardly under load, but returns to its initial position after the load is removed. The plate may be formed as a single work piece. The plate may be extruded from a plastic material. A method includes the step of securing an impervious surface at an uninterrupted slope near the edge of a rooftop so that rainwater falling over the edge strikes the surface. A major portion of the rainwater is directed downwardly and outwardly along the slope. The major portion of the rainwater is scattered as a spray of water droplets falling onto the ground below.

Une plaque imperméable allongée est fixée à un bâtiment, à proximité du bord de la toiture. La plaque forme une surface de rebond présentant une pente descendante continue se prolongeant à l'écart du bâtiment. L'eau de pluie s'écoulant par-dessus le bord de la toiture vient frapper la surface, rebondit et se disperse le long d'une zone étendue au niveau du sol, à l'écart du bâtiment. La plaque peut être souple et élastique et posséder une mémoire de forme de façon à fléchir vers le bas sous l'effet d'une charge mais à reprendre sa position initiale après retrait de la charge. La plaque peut prendre la forme d'une pièce unique et peut être extrudée à partir d'une matière plastique. Un procédé selon l'invention comporte l'étape consistant à fixer une surface imperméable selon une pente continue à proximité d'une toiture de façon à ce que l'eau de pluie s'écoulant par-dessus le bord vienne frapper la surface. La plus grande partie de l'eau de pluie est dirigée vers le bas et vers l'extérieur le long de la pente. Elle se disperse ensuite sous forme d'aspersion de gouttelettes d'eau qui se répandent sur le sol.
