eavestrough
Rainwater collection trough
An eavestrough is a gutter running along the edge of a roof to catch and channel rainwater—the Canadian term for what Americans typically call a gutter or rain gutter.
The eavestroughs need cleaning before winter.
The word combines eaves (the roof overhang) with trough (a channel).
