 Besides the glaring fact of WASTING WATER?  Do the math on your water bill 
 (or the electric to pump your own well water) and you'll probably find it's 
 a helluva lot cheaper to just leave the roof alone.  If anything, put in an 
 attic vent fan.  Water's not as harmless a material as one might imagine. 
 The various minerals causing deposits, the likelihood of algae other 
 mold/fungus growth and even it's weight are all factors to consider.  Enough 
 that unless the roof was designed with in mind would make it not only a bad 
 idea but a potentially dangerous one at that.
