I would not call picture #4 a drain.  Maybe in a very general sense.  
The part carrying the water is more specifically called a "gutter" (at 
least in the US), and the structure the water is draining into is called 
an "inlet."  And I would call picture #5 a "culvert."  There is already 
an established tag for that.
