Putting a tarp or towel down won't do much good if the water is running
down the wall. ?


Obviously a post out of the distant past since I can't seem to find
anything else on this subject.

How about proper installation of the A/C unit. It's supposed to be
slightly tilted so that the water runs out of the unit onto the ground
or folks walking beneath itg


That's right. There probably is a hole in the water pan already at the
outside end of the AC. And there is probably a provision for attaching
a small hose, to route the drip where the owner wants it. If no hole,
one could drill one there, but only if it's tipped like you say.
