Please beware of spray and flood water being sucked in. No vehicle I'm come across has its air intake much lower than bonnet slam panel height.

Recent ones (eg Subaru & DS3) have a water trap between the intake and filter.
The intake is in the usual place under the slam panel, but on the DS3, there is no direct connection to the air filter, and on the Subaru, there is a large plenum chamber with a drain inside the airbox, before the filter.
