That is still being worked out. Mike Lemon mentioned using a planter under the wheel to catch some of the water. My concern now is to constrict the water flow since even with a very small drill (#55 if my memory is working) the water comes out too fast.
The small structure at the front of the wheel keeps most of the water off of me.
This design is subject to changes and maybe painting to resist water damage.
