Interestingly, the article from fluent.com states that the Dinan scoop had to be redesigned to avoid problems with ingesting water *during heavy rain*. While the redesign did reduce this problem to acceptable levels, what, I wonder, happens when an oncoming vehicle hits a puddle and splashes a big load of water all over the front of your car (happens to me at least once or twice a year). I could easily see a liter or so of water coming straight into the big mouth of the scoop even if the depth of standing water in the puddle was only a few inches.
