 That may be true, but it's probably safe to assume that the temperature 
 decrement which the gentleman read was not off by 2€C.  Even assuming the 
 "before" and "after" temperature readings were off by a degree or two, the 
 delta reading was probably accurate to within a small fraction of a degree. 
  
 That said, I'm not sure this is an optimal use of natural resources.  Where 
 I live (southern Florida and northern Brazil at various times during the 
 year) water is more expensive than electricity.  A good fan can bring the 
 attic temperature to within 5€C of the outside air temperature.  Operational 
 costs are minimal. 
  
 In Sarasota private well water cannot be used for this purpose for two 
 reasons.  First it's usually full of sulfur and iron deposits which would 
 stain the roof horribly and stink like rotten eggs.  Second, it's illegal. 
 We have strict environmental laws here to keep anyone other than strip 
 miners from wasting natural resources and destroying the ecology.
