Default Has anyone considered using rainwater collection for roofevaporative cooling to reduce cooling load/costs ?

Ive read some articles where people have collected rainwater pumped
up to the roof and fed into either 180 degree sprinklers, or, into
PVC piping with holes drilled in the sides to soak the roof thereby
drastically cooling the roof tiles, deck, and hence reducing cooling
load on the inside of the home. In order to maximize savings, a 12
vdc high head pump can be used which is fed off of a small solar
collector or DeepCell batteries (which are periodically recharged)
