Route the Water into a Storm Drain
This rainwater solution needs  more work as most of the time it means using an overhead solution with either grooved pipes or PVC pipes. The tube either leads to a storm water drain or a dry well.
A dry well is a colossus hole that is dug, then filled with gravel, and remains dry until the pipes that divert downspout rainwater into the well start to fill the well during storms.

Make Sure You Use Splash Blocks
Always make secure you have splash blocks where your downspouts end. You can choose to expand  your downspout as a gutter drainage solution, but at the very least, always make sure each downspout has a joining splash block.

Extend Your Downspouts
There are other methods to accomplish this, but we'll create your own retractable downspout using Zip Hinge. It is quite simple to set up. Make a 40-degree angle in your gutter extender and attach it to your downspout using the Zip Hinge and 8 screws.

Aluminum Extension
This one’s a popular solution for a few good values. Aluminum downspout extensions are cheap, low maintenance and can be installed in seconds. A couple downsides are they don’t always jive with your restrained appeal and a rigid design limits where you can direct rainwater.

Rain Barrel
Rain barrels gather water from your gutters and store it in a large tank, which you can use to irrigate flower beds and vegetable gardens, as well as clean your car. This will not extend your downspout, but it is a safe technique to collect and utilize rainwater.
